These macrophage expressed gene 1 ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring specific protein levels in biological samples. macrophage expressed gene 1 is an alias of the human MPEG1 gene, which encodes the protein, macrophage expressed 1. The protein is known to play an important role in the innate immune response following bacterial infection by inserting into the bacterial surface to form pores (By similarity). The MPEG1 protein is 716 amino acid residues in length and 78.6 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cytoplasmic vesicles of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is noted to be expressed constitutively in a variety of cell types including macrophages, natural killer cells, neutrophils, keratinocytes and monocytes. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated and glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include macrophage-expressed gene 1 protein and macrophage expressed gene 1.
There are macrophage expressed gene 1 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 5000 pg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
