GPHA2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glycoprotein hormone subunit alpha 2, which is encoded by the GPHA2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to function as a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone with GPHB5 able to bind and activate the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), leading to increased cAMP production. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 129 residues, a mass of 14.2 kDa, and is a member of the Glycoprotein hormones subunit alpha protein family. It is known to be secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include cysteine knot protein, glycoprotein alpha 2, glycoprotein hormone alpha 2, putative secreted protein Zsig51, thyrostimulin subunit alpha, and glycoprotein hormone alpha-2.
The detection range for different GPHA2 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.
