These urotensin II ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of urotensin II in biological samples. urotensin II is an alias of the human UTS2 gene, which encodes the protein, urotensin 2. Notably, urotensin II is known to play a role in chemical synaptic transmission, among other functions. The UTS2 protein is 124 amino acid residues in length and 14.3 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is known to be a secreted protein. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to have brain specific expression. Other names for this target antigen include PRO1068, U-II, and UCN2.
The detection range for different urotensin II ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.312 ng/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
