PORCN ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein porcupine O-acyltransferase, which is encoded by the PORCN gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a Protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase that acts as a key regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating the attachment of palmitoleate, a 16-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid (C16:1(9Z)), to Wnt proteins. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 461 residues, a mass of 52.3 kDa, and is a member of the Membrane-bound acyltransferase protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER. As many as 5 protein isoforms have been reported. The PORCN gene has been associated with the disease, Focal dermal hypoplasia. Other alias names for this target include porcupine homolog, probable protein-cysteine N-palmitoyltransferase porcupine, and protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase porcupine.
There are PORCN ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.625 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.
