Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of Braf transforming gene, an alias of the protein, B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase. The official gene symbol is BRAF. The protein, with a mass of 84.4 kDa and length of 766 residues, is reported to be cytoplasmic, nuclear and membrane-associated. It is a member of the Protein kinase superfamily, TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family, RAF subfamily and may be known by other names, including: v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, proto-oncogene B-Raf, B-Raf serine/threonine-protein, 94 kDa B-raf protein, and serine/threonine-protein kinase B-raf, and B-RAF1.
