HPCA ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hippocalcin, which is encoded by the HPCA gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a calcium-binding protein that may play a role in the regulation of voltage-dependent calcium channels. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 193 residues, a mass of 22.4 kDa, and is a member of the Recoverin protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane and cytoplasm and is reported to have brain specific expression. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally myristoylated. The HPCA gene has been associated with the disease, Dystonia. Other alias names for this target include DYT2, neuron-specific calcium-binding protein hippocalcin, calcium-binding protein BDR-2, dystonia 2, torsion (autosomal recessive), and BDR2.
Some HPCA ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 78 pg/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.
