The following Ornithine Transcarbamylase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of ornithine transcarbamylase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the OTC gene. This protein is known to catalyze the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 354 residues, a mass of 39.9 kDa, and is a member of the OTCase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the mitochondria. In addition, it is reported to be mainly expressed in liver and intestinal mucosa. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally acetylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency. This protein may also be known as OTC1, OTCD, OTCase, ornithine transcarbamylase, mitochondrial, ornithine carbamoyltransferase, mitochondrial, and OCTD.
The detection range for different ornithine transcarbamylase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 400 ng/mL.
