TERT ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein telomerase reverse transcriptase, which is encoded by the TERT gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the cellular response to hypoxia and the regulation of apoptosis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1132 residues, a mass of 127 kDa, and is a member of the Reverse transcriptase protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm and is noted to be expressed at a high level in thymocyte subpopulations, at an intermediate level in tonsil T-lymphocytes, and at a low to undetectable level in peripheral blood T-lymphocytes. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. The TERT gene has been associated with the disease, Aplastic anemia. Other alias names for this target include DKCA2, DKCB4, EST2, PFBMFT1, TCS1, TP2, TRT, and CMM9.
There are TERT ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 900 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
