The following metallothionein 3 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of metallothionein 3 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MT3 gene. This protein is known to bind heavy metals. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 68 residues, a mass of 6.9 kDa, and is a member of the Metallothionein protein superfamily. It is notably expressed in a subset of astrocytes in the normal human brain, but greatly reduced in the Alzheimer disease (AD) brain. This protein may also be known as GIFB, GRIF, ZnMT3, growth inhibitory factor, metallothionein 3 (growth inhibitory factor (neurotrophic)), and GIF.
There are metallothionein 3 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 30 ng/L 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.
