WIPI1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 1, which is encoded by the WIPI1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known component of the autophagy machinery that controls the major intracellular degradation process by which cytoplasmic materials are packaged into autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 446 residues, a mass of 48.7 kDa, and is a member of the WD repeat PROPPIN protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane, cytoplasmic vesicles, golgi, and cytoplasm and is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include ATG18A, WIPI49, WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 1, WIPI-1 alpha, atg18 protein homolog, and ATG18.
There are WIPI1 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.
