PAPPA2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein pappalysin 2, which is encoded by the PAPPA2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in receptor-mediated signaling pathways and proteolysis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1791 residues, a mass of 198.5 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M43B protein family. It is known to be secreted and is noted to be expressed abundantly in placenta, and non-pregnant mammary gland with low expression in the kidney, fetal brain and pancreas. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The PAPPA2 gene has been associated with the disease, Short stature. Other alias names for this target include pregnancy-associated plasma preproprotein-A2, pregnancy-associated plasma protein E1, and placenta-specific 3.
There are PAPPA2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 150 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
