The following defensin alpha 4 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of defensin alpha 4 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the DEFA4 gene. This protein is reported to be a host-defense peptide that has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and to a lesser extent also against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 97 residues, a mass of 10.5 kDa, and is a member of the Alpha-defensin protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasmic vesicles and is secreted. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in neutrophils. This protein may also be known as HNP-4, HP-4, HP4, corticostatin, corticostatin HP-4, and DEF4.
There are defensin alpha 4 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 31.2 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
