SLC5A5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 5 member 5, which is encoded by the SLC5A5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a sodium:iodide symporter that mediates the transport of iodide into the thyroid gland. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 643 residues, a mass of 68.7 kDa, and is a member of the Sodium:solute symporter (SSF) (TC 2.A.21) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The SLC5A5 gene has been associated with the disease, Thyroid dyshormonogenesis. Other alias names for this target include TDH1, sodium/iodide cotransporter, Na(+)/I(-) cotransporter, Na(+)/I(-) symporter, and NIS.
The detection range for different SLC5A5 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
