NKX2-1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein NK2 homeobox 1, which is encoded by the NKX2-1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a transcription factor that binds and activates the promoter of thyroid specific genes such as thyroglobulin, thyroperoxidase, and thyrotropin receptor. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 371 residues, a mass of 38.6 kDa, and is a member of the NK-2 homeobox protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated. The NKX2-1 gene has been associated with the disease, Chorea. Other alias names for this target include BHC, NK-2, NKX2.1, NKX2A, NMTC1, T/EBP, TEBP, and BCH.
Some NKX2-1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.05 ng/mL and as high as 40 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
