The NAPSIN A ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of NAPSIN A in various samples. NAPSIN A is an alternative name for the human NAPSA gene, which encodes the protein, napsin A aspartic peptidase. It has been mentioned that NAPSIN A plays a role in proteolysis, among other functions. Structurally, the NAPSA protein is described to be 420 amino acid residues in length and 45.4 kilodaltons in mass. It is known to be a secreted protein. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in adult lung (type II pneumocytes) and kidney and in fetal lung. This protein is known to be glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include KAP, KAP, and Kdap.
There are NAPSIN A ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 2 ng/L and as high as 600 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
