The following bestrophin 1 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of bestrophin 1 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the BEST1 gene. This protein has been described to function in the transport of ions. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 585 residues, a mass of 67.7 kDa, and is a member of the Anion channel-forming bestrophin (TC 1.A.46) protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane. In addition, it is reported to be highly expressed in the the basolateral membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Macular dystrophy. This protein may also be known as BEST, BMD, Best1V1Delta2, RP50, TU15B, VMD2, Best disease, and ARB.
The detection range for different bestrophin 1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL.
