SLC39A8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 39 member 8, which is encoded by the SLC39A8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the transport of ions and extracellular matrix organization. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 460 residues, a mass of 49.6 kDa, and is a member of the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) protein family. It is known to be localized in the lysosomes and cell membrane and is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. The SLC39A8 gene has been associated with the disease, Congenital disorder of glycosylation. Other alias names for this target include BCG induced integral membrane protein BIGM103, BCG-induced integral membrane protein in monocyte clone 103 protein, LIV-1 subfamily of ZIP zinc transporter 6, ZIP-8, and metal cation symporter ZIP8.
The detection range for different SLC39A8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target 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.
