EIF2S1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha, which is encoded by the EIF2S1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to function in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 315 residues, a mass of 36.1 kDa, and is a member of the EIF-2-alpha protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasm. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include EIF-2A, EIF-2alpha, EIF2, EIF2A, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 1, and EIF-2.
The detection range for different EIF2S1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
