NAGS ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein N-acetylglutamate synthase, which is encoded by the NAGS gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to play a role in in the regulation of ureagenesis by producing the essential cofactor N-acetylglutamate (NAG), thus modulating carbamoylphosphate synthase I (CPS1) activity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 534 residues, a mass of 58.2 kDa, and is a member of the Acetyltransferase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is reported to be highly expressed in the adult liver, kidney and small intestine. The NAGS gene has been associated with the disease, N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency. Other alias names for this target include N-acetylglutamate synthase, mitochondrial and amino-acid acetyltransferase.
There are NAGS ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations 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.
