CD151 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein CD151 molecule (Raph blood group), which is encoded by the CD151 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be important for the proper assembly of the glomerular and tubular basement membranes in kidney. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 253 residues, a mass of 28.3 kDa, and is a member of the Tetraspanin (TM4SF) protein family. It is known to be localized in the membrane and is reported to be expressed in a variety of tissues including vascular endothelium and epidermis. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally palmitoylated and glycosylated. The CD151 gene has been associated with the disease, Epidermolysis bullosa simplex. Other alias names for this target include GP27, MER2, PETA-3, RAPH, SFA1, TSPAN24, CD151 antigen, and EBS7.
The detection range for different CD151 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations 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.
