The NPHS1 nephrin ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of NPHS1 nephrin in various samples. NPHS1 nephrin is an alternative name for the human NPHS1 gene, which encodes the protein, NPHS1 adhesion molecule, nephrin. It has been mentioned that NPHS1 nephrin plays a role in cell adhesion and skeletal muscle tissue development, among other functions. Structurally, the NPHS1 protein is 1241 amino acid residues in length and 134.7 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in podocytes of kidney glomeruli. This protein is known to be phosphorylated and glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include CNF, NPHN, and nephrin.
There are NPHS1 nephrin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
