VAPB ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein VAMP associated protein B and C, which is encoded by the VAPB gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to participate in the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response (UPR) by inducing ERN1/IRE1 activity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 243 residues, a mass of 27.2 kDa, and is a member of the VAMP-associated protein (VAP) (TC 9.B.17) protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The VAPB gene has been associated with the disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Other alias names for this target include VAMP-B, vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B/C, VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane protein)-associated protein B and C, VAMP-associated 33 kDa protein, and ALS8.
There are VAPB ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 31.25 pg/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.
