TMPRSS6 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein transmembrane serine protease 6, which is encoded by the TMPRSS6 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the regulation of transcription. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 811 residues, a mass of 90 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase S1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and glycosylated. The TMPRSS6 gene has been associated with the disease, Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia. Other alias names for this target include matriptase-2, membrane-bound mosaic serine proteinase matriptase-2, transmembrane protease, serine 6, type II transmembrane serine protease 6, and transmembrane protease serine 6.
The detection range for different TMPRSS6 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 125 pg/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.
