NAAA ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein N-acylethanolamine acid amidase, which is encoded by the NAAA gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in fatty acid metabolism and the metabolism of lipids. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 359 residues, a mass of 40.1 kDa, and is a member of the Acid ceramidase protein family. It is known to be localized in the lysosomes and membrane and is reported to be expressed in numerous tissues, with highest levels in liver and kidney, followed by pancreas. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated, palmitoylated and cleaved. Other alias names for this target include PLT, N-acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase, ASAH-like protein, acid ceramidase-like protein, acylsphingosine deacylase NAAA, and ASAHL.
Some NAAA ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 40 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
