CERS6 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein ceramide synthase 6, which is encoded by the CERS6 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a ceramide synthase that catalyzes the transfer of the acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a sphingoid base, with high selectivity toward palmitoyl-CoA (hexadecanoyl-CoA; C16:0-CoA). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 384 residues and a mass of 44.9 kDa. It is known to be localized in the ER. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated, acetylated and phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include longevity assurance homolog 6, sphingoid base N-palmitoyltransferase CERS6, and LAG1 homolog, ceramide synthase 6.
The detection range for different CERS6 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 20 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.
