The HSP71 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of HSP71 in various samples. HSP71 is an alternative name for the human HSPA8 gene, which encodes the protein, heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 8. It has been mentioned that HSP71 plays a role in autophagy pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the HSPA8 protein is 646 amino acid residues in length and 70.9 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane, nucleus, lysosomes and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. This protein is known to be acetylated. Other names for this target antigen include HEL-33, HEL-S-72p, and HSC54. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
