PTGDS ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein prostaglandin D2 synthase, which is encoded by the PTGDS gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2, a prostaglandin involved in smooth muscle contraction/relaxation and a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 190 residues, a mass of 21 kDa, and is a member of the Lipocalin protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus, ER, golgi, cytoplasm, and is secreted and is notably expressed in the brain and CNS, where it is expressed in tissues of the blood-brain barrier and secreted into the cerebro-spinal fluid. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated and N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include LPGDS, PDS, PGD2, PGDS, PGDS2, prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase, PGD2 synthase, and L-PGDS.
Some PTGDS ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15.63 pg/mL and as high as 1000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
