DERA ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase, which is encoded by the DERA gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze a reversible aldol reaction between acetaldehyde and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to generate 2-deoxy-D-ribose 5-phosphate. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 318 residues, a mass of 35.2 kDa, and is a member of the DeoC/FbaB aldolase protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm and is reported to be mainly expressed in liver, lung and colon. Other alias names for this target include DEOC, 2-deoxy-D-ribose 5-phosphate aldolase, 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase homolog, deoxyriboaldolase, and CGI-26.
The detection range for different DERA ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
