CTNNA2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein catenin alpha 2, which is encoded by the CTNNA2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to function as a a linker between cadherin adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton to regulate cell-cell adhesion and differentiation in the nervous system (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 953 residues, a mass of 105.3 kDa, and is a member of the Vinculin/alpha-catenin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm and is reported to be expressed in neural tissues, with strongest expression in fetal and adult brain. As many as 6 protein isoforms have been reported. The CTNNA2 gene has been associated with the disease, Cortical dysplasia. Other alias names for this target include CAPR, CDCBM9, CT114, CTNR, alpha-N-catenin, and CAP-R.
Some CTNNA2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.05 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.
