The following prepronociceptin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of prepronociceptin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the PNOC gene. This protein has been described to function in chemical synaptic transmission and signal transduction pathways. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 176 residues, a mass of 20.3 kDa, and is a member of the Opioid neuropeptide precursor protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is reported to be highly expressed in the the brain and spinal cord. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally cleaved. This protein may also be known as NOP, OFQ, PPNOC, ppN/OFQ, nociceptin, nocistatin, orphanin FQ, and N/OFQ.
There are prepronociceptin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 1.563 pg/mL and as high as 1000 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.
