KMO ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein kynurenine 3-monooxygenase, which is encoded by the KMO gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the hydroxylation of L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) to form 3-hydroxy-L-kynurenine (L-3OHKyn). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 486 residues, a mass of 55.8 kDa, and is a member of the Aromatic-ring hydroxylase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is reported be highly expressed in placenta and liver. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include dJ317G22.1 and kynurenine 3-hydroxylase.
There are KMO ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
