LEP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein leptin, which is encoded by the LEP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in adipose tissue development and angiogenesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 167 residues, a mass of 18.6 kDa, and is a member of the Leptin protein family. It is known to be secreted. The LEP gene has been associated with the disease, Leptin deficiency. Other alias names for this target include OB, OBS, leptin (murine obesity homolog), leptin (obesity homolog, mouse), obese protein, and LEPD.
The detection range for different LEP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.098 pg/mL and as high as 1500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
