LRP8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein LDL receptor related protein 8, which is encoded by the LRP8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a reported cell surface receptor for Reelin (RELN) and apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing ligands. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 963 residues, a mass of 105.6 kDa, and is a member of the LDLR protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted and is notably expressed in the brain and placenta. As many as 5 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated, ubiquitinated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The LRP8 gene has been associated with the disease, Myocardial infarction. Other alias names for this target include HSZ75190, MCI1, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, ApoE receptor 2, low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, apolipoprotein e receptor, and APOER2.
The detection range for different LRP8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 7 ng/L 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.
