OPRK1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein opioid receptor kappa 1, which is encoded by the OPRK1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and the cellular response to lipopolysaccharides. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 380 residues, a mass of 42.6 kDa, and is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is notably expressed in the brain and placenta. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include KOP, KOR, KOR-1, KOR1, OPRK, kappa-type opioid receptor, Opiate receptor, kappa-1, and K-OR-1.
The detection range for different OPRK1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 125 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
