The Glutamine Synthetase ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Glutamine Synthetase in various samples. Glutamine Synthetase is another term for the GLUL gene, which encodes the protein, glutamate-ammonia ligase in humans. It has been reported that Glutamine Synthetase plays a role in angiogenesis and cell proliferation, among other functions. Structurally, the GLUL protein is described to be 373 amino acid residues in length and 42.1 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in endothelial cells. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated and palmitoylated. Other names for this target antigen include GLNS, GLNS, and GS.
There are Glutamine Synthetase ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.27 pg/mL and as high as 500 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
