The PKG ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of PKG in various samples. PKG is another term for the PRKG1 gene, which encodes the protein, protein kinase cGMP-dependent 1 in humans. It has been reported that PKG plays a role in cytoskeleton organization and dendrite development, among other functions. Structurally, the PRKG1 protein is 671 amino acid residues in length and 76.4 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in lung and placenta. This protein is known to be cleaved and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include AAT8 and PKG1.
The detection range for different PKG ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
