The following Hepsin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of hepsin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the HPN gene. This protein is reported to be a serine protease that cleaves extracellular substrates, and contributes to the proteolytic processing of growth factors, such as HGF and MST1/HGFL. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 417 residues, a mass of 45 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase S1 protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane. In addition, it is notably expressed in liver and kidney. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as serine protease hepsin, testicular tissue protein Li 85, transmembrane protease serine 1, and TMPRSS1.
There are hepsin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 61.5 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
