Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of elastase, an alias of the protein, elastase, neutrophil expressed. The official gene symbol is ELANE. The kits can detect several species variants of the protein, including: human, mouse, rat, bovine, chicken, primate, guinea pig, fish, plant, and other mammalian. The protein has a mass of 28.5 kDa and length of 267 residues. It is a member of the Peptidase S1 family, Elastase subfamily and may be known by other names, including: leukocyte elastase, granulocyte-derived elastase, elastase 2 neutrophil, bone marrow serine protease, PMN elastase, and neutrophil elastase, and polymorphonuclear elastase.
