ASL ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein argininosuccinate lyase, which is encoded by the ASL gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the reversible cleavage of L-argininosuccinate to fumarate and L-arginine, an intermediate step reaction in the urea cycle mostly providing for hepatic nitrogen detoxification into excretable urea as well as de novo L-arginine synthesis in nonhepatic tissues. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 464 residues, a mass of 51.7 kDa, and is a member of the Lyase 1 protein family. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally acetylated. The ASL gene has been associated with the disease, Argininosuccinic aciduria. Other alias names for this target include argininosuccinase, arginosuccinase, and ASAL.
Some ASL ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 90 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
