HCRT ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hypocretin neuropeptide precursor, which is encoded by the HCRT gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in chemical synaptic transmission and DNA replication. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 131 residues, a mass of 13.4 kDa, and is a member of the Orexin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasmic vesicles and ER. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved. The HCRT gene has been associated with the disease, Narcolepsy. Other alias names for this target include OX, PPOX, hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptide, orexin, prepro-orexin, preprohypocretin, and NRCLP1.
Some HCRT ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.5 ng/L and as high as 1000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
