The AFAR1 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of AFAR1 in various samples. AFAR1 is an alternative name for the human AKR7A2 gene, which encodes the protein, aldo-keto reductase family 7 member A2. It has been mentioned that AFAR1 plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and the metabolism of lipids, among other functions. Structurally, the AKR7A2 protein is described to be 359 amino acid residues in length and 39.6 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the mitochondria, golgi, and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in the brain, liver, small intestine and testis, and at lower levels in heart, prostate, skeletal muscle and spleen. Other names for this target antigen include AFAR and AFAR. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
