The FMRP ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of FMRP in various samples. FMRP is an alternative name for the human FMR1 gene, which encodes the protein, fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1. It has been mentioned that FMRP plays a role in viral immune response and DNA repair, among other functions. Structurally, the FMR1 protein is 632 amino acid residues in length and 71.2 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 11 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in the brain, cerebellum and testis. This protein is known to be methylated, ubiquitinated, cleaved and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include FRAXA and POF.
The detection range for different FMRP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 40 pg/mL and as high as 25000 pg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
