These acid sphingomyelinase ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring specific protein levels in biological samples. acid sphingomyelinase is an alias of the human SMPD1 gene, which encodes the protein, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1. Notably, acid sphingomyelinase is known to play a role in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis and the metabolism of lipids, among other functions. The SMPD1 protein is 631 amino acid residues in length and 69.9 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 4 protein isoforms have been identified. Its subcellular localization is in the lysosomes and is secreted. This protein is known to be glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include ASM, ASMASE, and NPD.
Some acid sphingomyelinase ELISA kits can detect targets at levels 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.
