The following Frataxin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of frataxin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the FXN gene. This protein has been described to function in the regulation of apoptosis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 210 residues, a mass of 23.1 kDa, and is a member of the Frataxin protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the mitochondria and cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in the heart, peripheral blood lymphocytes and dermal fibroblasts. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Friedreich ataxia. This protein may also be known as CyaY and FA.
Some frataxin ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.1 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
