KEL ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein Kell metallo-endopeptidase (Kell blood group), which is encoded by the KEL gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cellular localization and the regulation of intracellular calcium. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 732 residues, a mass of 82.8 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M13 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is notably expressed at high levels in erythrocytes and testis (in Sertoli cells), and, at lower levels, in skeletal muscle, tonsils (in follicular dendritic cells), lymph node, spleen and appendix. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include ECE3, Kell, kell blood group glycoprotein, Kell blood group, metallo-endopeptidase, Kell glycoprotein, and CD238.
Some KEL ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
