BPIFA1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein BPI fold containing family A member 1, which is encoded by the BPIFA1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a lipid-binding protein, which shows high specificity for the surfactant phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 256 residues, a mass of 26.7 kDa, and is a member of the Plunc protein family. It is known to be secreted and is reported to be highly expressed in the lung, upper airways and nasopharyngeal regions, including trachea and nasal epithelium. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include NASG, PLUNC, SPLUNC1, SPURT, bA49G10.5, ligand-binding protein RYA3, lung-specific protein X, and LUNX.
The detection range for different BPIFA1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
