The following glutamate-ammonia ligase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of glutamate-ammonia ligase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the GLUL gene. This protein is reported to be a glutamine synthetase that catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of glutamate and ammonia to glutamine. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 373 residues, a mass of 42.1 kDa, and is a member of the Glutamine synthetase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in endothelial cells. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally ubiquitinated and palmitoylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Congenital systemic glutamine deficiency. This protein may also be known as GS, PIG43, PIG59, glutamine synthetase, cell proliferation-inducing protein 59, and GLNS.
The detection range for different glutamate-ammonia ligase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 5 ng/L and as high as 500 ng/mL.
