Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of KNG1 in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene uses alternative splicing to generate two different proteins- high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) and low molecular weight kininogen (LMWK). HMWK is essential for blood coagulation and assembly of the kallikrein-kinin system. Also, bradykinin, a peptide causing numerous physiological effects, is released from HMWK. In contrast to HMWK, LMWK is not involved in blood coagulation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
