PLAU ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein plasminogen activator, urokinase, which is encoded by the PLAU gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in chemotaxis and the regulation of cell migration. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 431 residues, a mass of 48.5 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase S1 protein family. It is known to be secreted and is reported to be expressed in the prostate gland and prostate cancers. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The PLAU gene has been associated with the disease, Quebec platelet disorder. Other alias names for this target include BDPLT5, QPD, UPA, URK, u-PA, urokinase-type plasminogen activator, U-plasminogen activator, and ATF.
There are PLAU ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 2.74 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
