The hepatitis B virus x interacting protein ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of hepatitis B virus x interacting protein in various samples. hepatitis B virus x interacting protein is another term for the LAMTOR5 gene, which encodes the protein, late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 5 in humans. It has been reported that hepatitis B virus x interacting protein plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis and the regulation of gene expression, among other functions. Structurally, the LAMTOR5 protein is described to be 91 amino acid residues in length and 9.6 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the lysosomes and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle, followed by pancreas, kidney, liver, brain, placenta and lung. Other names for this target antigen include HBXIP, XIP, and ragulator complex protein LAMTOR5.
