ASIP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein agouti signaling protein, which is encoded by the ASIP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be involved in regulation of melanogenesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 132 residues and a mass of 14.5 kDa. It is known to be secreted and is reported to be expressed in adipose tissue, testis, ovary and heart and at lower levels in liver, kidney and foreskin. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include AGTI, AGTIL, ASP, SHEP9, agouti signaling protein, nonagouti homolog, and AGSW.
The detection range for different ASIP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1.56 pg/mL 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.
