PTPRK ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type K, which is encoded by the PTPRK gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and cell migration. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1439 residues, a mass of 162.1 kDa, and is a member of the Protein-tyrosine phosphatase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is notably expressed in the lung, brain and colon; less in liver, pancreas, stomach, kidney, placenta and mammary carcinoma. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase kappa, dJ480J14.2.1 (protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, K (R-PTP-KAPPA, protein tyrosine phosphatase kappa , protein tyrosine phosphatase kappa, protein-tyrosine phosphatase kappa, and R-PTP-kappa.
The detection range for different PTPRK ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL 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.
