The Glycophorin C ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Glycophorin C in various samples. Glycophorin C is another term for the GYPC gene, which encodes the protein, glycophorin C (Gerbich blood group) in humans. The target protein is known to be a minor sialoglycoprotein in human erythrocyte membranes. Structurally, the GYPC protein is 128 amino acid residues in length and 13.8 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include CD236, CD236R, and GE.
The detection range for different Glycophorin C ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
