MASP2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein MBL associated serine protease 2, which is encoded by the MASP2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a serum protease that plays an important role in the activation of the complement system via mannose-binding lectin. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 686 residues, a mass of 75.7 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase S1 protein family. It is known to be secreted and is notably expressed in plasma. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved. The MASP2 gene has been associated with the disease, MASP2 deficiency. Other alias names for this target include MAP19, MASP1P1, sMAP, mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2, MBL-associated plasma protein of 19 kD, and MAP-2.
Some MASP2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15 ng/L and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
