LSS ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein lanosterol synthase, which is encoded by the LSS gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 732 residues, a mass of 83.3 kDa, and is a member of the Terpene cyclase/mutase protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and is widely expressed across many tissue types. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The LSS gene has been associated with the disease, Cataracts. Other alias names for this target include CTRCT44, HYPT14, OSC, 2,3-epoxysqualene-lanosterol cyclase, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein, and APMR4.
Some LSS 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.
