The OFQ ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of OFQ in various samples. OFQ is another term for the PNOC gene, which encodes the protein, prepronociceptin in humans. It has been reported that OFQ plays a role in protein localization, among other functions. Structurally, the PNOC protein is 176 amino acid residues in length and 20.3 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the is secreted of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in the the brain and spinal cord..
Some OFQ ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.563 pg/mL and as high as 500 pg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
