CD8A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein CD8 subunit alpha, which is encoded by the CD8A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in adaptive immune responses and receptor-mediated signaling pathways. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 235 residues and a mass of 25.7 kDa. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated, palmitoylated and phosphorylated. The CD8A gene has been associated with the disease, CD8 deficiency. Other alias names for this target include CD8alpha, Leu2, p32, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain, CD8 antigen, alpha polypeptide (p32), and CD8.
The detection range for different CD8A ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 600 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
