KPNB1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein karyopherin subunit beta 1, which is encoded by the KPNB1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to function in nuclear protein import, either in association with an adapter protein, like an importin-alpha subunit, which binds to nuclear localization signals (NLS) in cargo substrates, or by acting as autonomous nuclear transport receptor. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 876 residues, a mass of 97.2 kDa, and is a member of the Importin beta protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include IPO1, IPOB, Impnb, NTF97, importin subunit beta-1, PTAC97, importin 1, and IMB1.
The detection range for different KPNB1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 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.
