The uPA ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of uPA in various samples. uPA is another term for the PLAU gene, which encodes the protein, plasminogen activator, urokinase in humans. It has been reported that uPA plays a role in protein ubiquitination, among other functions. Structurally, the PLAU protein is 431 amino acid residues in length and 48.5 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the is secreted of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in the prostate gland and prostate cancers.. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated.
There are uPA ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.78 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
