The following Hephaestin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of hephaestin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the HEPH gene. This protein is believed to function as a a ferroxidase for ferrous (II) to ferric ion (III) conversion and may be involved in copper transport and homeostasis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1158 residues, a mass of 130.4 kDa, and is a member of the Multicopper oxidase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the membrane. In addition, it is notably expressed in breast, colon, bone trabecular cells and fibroblasts. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as CPL.
There are hephaestin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
