OSBP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein oxysterol binding protein, which is encoded by the OSBP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a lipid transporter involved in lipid countertransport between the Golgi complex and membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum: specifically exchanges sterol with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), delivering sterol to the Golgi in exchange for PI4P, which is degraded by the SAC1/SACM1L phosphatase in the endoplasmic reticulum. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 807 residues, a mass of 89.4 kDa, and is a member of the OSBP protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane, ER, golgi, and cytoplasm and is widely expressed across many tissue types. Other alias names for this target include OSBP1 and oxysterol-binding protein 1.
The detection range for different OSBP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
