DES ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein desmin, which is encoded by the DES gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cytoskeleton organization. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 470 residues, a mass of 53.5 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. The DES gene has been associated with the disease, Myopathy. Other alias names for this target include CSM1, CSM2, LGMD1D, LGMD1E, LGMD2R, and CDCD3.
Some DES ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1 ng/L and as high as 500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
