PTAFR ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein platelet activating factor receptor, which is encoded by the PTAFR gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known receptor for platelet activating factor, a chemotactic phospholipid mediator that possesses potent inflammatory, smooth-muscle contractile and hypotensive activity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 342 residues, a mass of 39.2 kDa, and is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in the placenta, lung, left and right heart ventricles, heart atrium, leukocytes and differentiated HL-60 granulocytes. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include PAFR and PAF-R.
The detection range for different PTAFR ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
