GPT2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glutamic--pyruvic transaminase 2, which is encoded by the GPT2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 523 residues, a mass of 57.9 kDa, and is a member of the Class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase protein family. It is notably expressed at high levels in muscle, adipose tissue, kidney and brain and at lower levels in the liver and breast. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The GPT2 gene has been associated with the disease, Neurodevelopmental disorder with spastic paraplegia and microcephaly. Other alias names for this target include glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2, glutamic pyruvate transaminase (alanine aminotransferase) 2, glutamic pyruvate transaminase 2, glutamic--alanine transaminase 2, and alanine aminotransferase 2.
The detection range for different GPT2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.312 ng/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
