The following catenin alpha 2 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of catenin alpha 2 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CTNNA2 gene. This protein is believed to function as a a linker between cadherin adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton to regulate cell-cell adhesion and differentiation in the nervous system (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 953 residues, a mass of 105.3 kDa, and is a member of the Vinculin/alpha-catenin protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in neural tissues, with strongest expression in fetal and adult brain. As many as 6 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Cortical dysplasia. This protein may also be known as CAPR, CDCBM9, CT114, CTNR, alpha-N-catenin, and CAP-R.
The detection range for different catenin alpha 2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.05 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL.
