SLC51B ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 51 subunit beta, which is encoded by the SLC51B 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 128 residues, a mass of 14.3 kDa, and is a member of the OST-beta protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be widely expressed with a high expression in ileum. The SLC51B gene has been associated with the disease, Bile acid malabsorption. Other alias names for this target include OST-beta, organic solute transporter beta subunit, solute carrier family 51 beta subunit, and organic solute transporter subunit beta.
There are SLC51B ELISA kits that can detect a target at 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.
