ALK ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein ALK receptor tyrosine kinase, which is encoded by the ALK gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in brain development and the metabolism of lipids. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1620 residues, a mass of 176.4 kDa, and is a member of the Tyr protein kinase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in the brain and CNS. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated and phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include CD246, NBLST3, ALK tyrosine kinase receptor, CD246 antigen, anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase, and ALK1.
The detection range for different ALK ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
