The following defensin alpha 5 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of defensin alpha 5 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the DEFA5 gene. This protein is reported to be a host-defense peptide that maintains sterility in the urogenital system. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 94 residues, a mass of 10.1 kDa, and is a member of the Alpha-defensin protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasmic vesicles and is secreted. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in the gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated and cleaved. This protein may also be known as HD-5, HD5(20-94), defensin, alpha 5, Paneth cell-specific, defensin, alpha 5, preproprotein, defensin-5, and DEF5.
Some defensin alpha 5 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 3.12 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
