The following prokineticin 2 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of prokineticin 2 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the PROK2 gene. This protein is believed to function as a an output molecule from the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that transmits behavioral circadian rhythm. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 129 residues, a mass of 14.3 kDa, and is a member of the AVIT (prokineticin) protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in the testis and, at low levels, in the small intestine. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 4 with or without anosmia. This protein may also be known as protein Bv8 homolog.
The detection range for different prokineticin 2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 6.25 pg/mL and as high as 40 ng/mL.
