EIF5A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A, which is encoded by the EIF5A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a mRNA-binding protein involved in translation elongation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 154 residues, a mass of 16.8 kDa, and is a member of the EIF-5A protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane, nucleus, ER, and cytoplasm and is reported to be expressed in umbilical vein endothelial cells and several cancer cell lines. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally acetylated. The EIF5A gene has been associated with the disease, Faundes-Banka syndrome. Other alias names for this target include FABAS, eIF-4D, eIF5AI, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A-1, eukaryotic initiation factor 5A, and EIF5A1.
There are EIF5A ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/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.
