PEMT ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, which is encoded by the PEMT gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the three sequential steps of the methylation pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a critical and essential component for membrane structure. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 199 residues, a mass of 22.1 kDa, and is a member of the PEMT/PEM2 methyltransferase protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and is notably expressed in liver. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include PEMPT, PEMT2, PLMT, PNMT, phospholipid methyltransferase, and PEAMT.
Some PEMT ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15 ng/L and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
