The Torsin 1A ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Torsin 1A in various samples. Torsin 1A is another term for the TOR1A gene, which encodes the protein, torsin family 1 member A in humans. It has been reported that Torsin 1A plays a role in cell adhesion and cytoskeleton organization, among other functions. Structurally, the TOR1A protein is 332 amino acid residues in length and 37.8 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the membrane, nucleus, cytoplasmic vesicles, ER, and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is widely expressed across many tissue types. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include AMC5, DQ2, and DYT1.
