SGCA ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein sarcoglycan alpha, which is encoded by the SGCA gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known component of the sarcoglycan complex, a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 387 residues, a mass of 42.9 kDa, and is a member of the Sarcoglycan alpha/epsilon protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The SGCA gene has been associated with the disease, Muscular dystrophy. Other alias names for this target include ADL, DAG2, DMDA2, LGMD2D, LGMDR3, SCARMD1, adhalin, and 50DAG.
Some SGCA ELISA kits can detect targets at levels 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.
