SLC51A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 51 subunit alpha, which is encoded by the SLC51A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is an important component of the Ost-alpha/Ost-beta complex, a heterodimer that acts as the intestinal basolateral transporter responsible for bile acid export from enterocytes into portal blood. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 340 residues, a mass of 37.7 kDa, and is a member of the OST-alpha protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and cell membrane and is reported to be widely expressed with a high expression in ileum. The SLC51A gene has been associated with the disease, Cholestasis. Other alias names for this target include OST-alpha, organic solute transporter alpha, organic solute transporter, alpha subunit, solute carrier family 51 alpha subunit, and organic solute transporter subunit alpha.
The detection range for different SLC51A ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.05 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.
