CTSW ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein cathepsin W, which is encoded by the CTSW gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is suspected to have a specific function in the mechanism or regulation of T-cell cytolytic activity; (Microbial infection) Plays a role during influenza virus infection in lungs cells ex vivo. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 376 residues, a mass of 42.1 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase C1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and is reported to be highly expressed in natural killer cells, and in cytotoxic T cells. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include LYPN and lymphopain.
The detection range for different CTSW ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
