The HSC70 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of HSC70 in various samples. HSC70 is another term for the HSPA8 gene, which encodes the protein, heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 8 in humans. It has been reported that HSC70 plays a role in autophagy pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the HSPA8 protein is 646 amino acid residues in length and 70.9 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane, nucleus, lysosomes and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. This protein is known to be acetylated. Other names for this target antigen include HEL-33, HEL-S-72p, and HSC54.
The detection range for different HSC70 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 150 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
