CLEC7A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein C-type lectin domain containing 7A, which is encoded by the CLEC7A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a reported lectin that functions as pattern recognizing receptor (PRR) specific for beta-1,3-linked and beta-1,6-linked glucans, which constitute cell wall constituents from pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 247 residues and a mass of 27.6 kDa. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm and is reported to be highly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes and dendritic cells. As many as protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated and glycosylated. The CLEC7A gene has been associated with the disease, Candidiasis. Other alias names for this target include C-type (calcium dependent, carbohydrate-recognition domain) lectin, superfamily member 12, C-type lectin superfamily member 12, DC-associated C-type lectin 1, and C-type lectin domain family 7 member A.
Some CLEC7A ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 25 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
