The following melanoma cell adhesion molecule ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of melanoma cell adhesion molecule in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MCAM gene. This protein is reported to play a role in in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 646 residues and a mass of 71.6 kDa. Its subcellular location is known to be in the membrane. In addition, it is notably expressed in endothelial cells in vascular tissue throughout the body. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as HEMCAM, METCAM, MUC18, MelCAM, cell surface glycoprotein MUC18, and CD146.
The detection range for different melanoma cell adhesion molecule ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 62.5 pg/mL and as high as 40 ng/mL.
