GPHB5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glycoprotein hormone subunit beta 5, which is encoded by the GPHB5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to function as a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone with GPHA2 able to bind and activate the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), leading to increased cAMP production. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 130 residues, a mass of 14.2 kDa, and is a member of the Glycoprotein hormones subunit beta protein family. It is known to be secreted and is reported to be highly expressed in the brain and at low levels in pituitary. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include glycoprotein beta 5, glycoprotein hormone beta 5, glycoprotein hormone beta subunit, thyrostimulin subunit beta, and glycoprotein hormone beta-5.
There are GPHB5 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
