SLC44A4 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 44 member 4, which is encoded by the SLC44A4 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a choline transporter that plays a role in the choline-acetylcholine system and is required to the efferent innervation of hair cells in the olivocochlear bundle for the maintenance of physiological function of outer hair cells and the protection of hair cells from acoustic injury (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 710 residues, a mass of 79.3 kDa, and is a member of the CTL (choline transporter-like) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be highly expressed in colon, also detected in prostate, trachea and lung. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. The SLC44A4 gene has been associated with the disease, Deafness. Other alias names for this target include testicular tissue protein Li 48, thiamine pyrophosphate transporter 1, and choline transporter-like protein 4.
The detection range for different SLC44A4 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/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.
