OMA1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein OMA1 zinc metallopeptidase, which is encoded by the OMA1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a reported metalloprotease that is part of the quality control system in the inner membrane of mitochondria. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 524 residues, a mass of 60.1 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M48 protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is found to be widely expressed, with strong expression in the heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and liver. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include OMA1 homolog, zinc metallopeptidase, OMA1 zinc metallopeptidase homolog, metalloprotease-related protein 1, overlapping activity with M-AAA protease, and metalloendopeptidase OMA1, mitochondrial.
The detection range for different OMA1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
