MIP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein major intrinsic protein of lens fiber, which is encoded by the MIP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in eye development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 263 residues, a mass of 28.1 kDa, and is a member of the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in the cortex and nucleus of the retina lens. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally palmitoylated and cleaved. The MIP gene has been associated with the disease, Cataracts. Other alias names for this target include CTRCT15, LIM1, MIP26, MP26, lens fiber major intrinsic protein, aquaporin 0, and AQP0.
There are MIP ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.78 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
