GALE ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein UDP-galactose-4-epimerase, which is encoded by the GALE gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze two distinct but analogous reactions: the reversible epimerization of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose and the reversible epimerization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 348 residues, a mass of 38.3 kDa, and is a member of the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase protein family. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The GALE gene has been associated with the disease, Galactosemia. Other alias names for this target include UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, UDP galactose-4'-epimerase, UDP-GalNAc 4-epimerase, UDP-GlcNAc 4-epimerase, and SDR1E1.
The detection range for different GALE ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
