CIDEC ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein cell death inducing DFFA like effector c, which is encoded by the CIDEC gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the apoptotic pathway and the metabolism of lipids. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 238 residues, a mass of 26.8 kDa, and is a member of the CIDE protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and ER and is notably expressed in adipose tissue, small intestine, heart, colon and stomach and, at lower levels, in the brain, kidney and liver. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated. The CIDEC gene has been associated with the disease, Lipodystrophy. Other alias names for this target include cell death activator CIDE-3, fat specific protein 27, and lipid transferase CIDEC.
The detection range for different CIDEC ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 20 ng/L 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.
