The following epithelial membrane protein 2 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of epithelial membrane protein 2 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the EMP2 gene. This protein is known to function as a key regulator of cell membrane composition by regulating protein surface expression. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 167 residues, a mass of 19.2 kDa, and is a member of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane, nucleus, golgi, and cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in ciliary body epithelia, sclera, cornea, and retinal pigment epithelium. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Nephrotic syndrome. This protein may also be known as XMP.
The detection range for different epithelial membrane protein 2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL.
