GATM ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glycine amidinotransferase, which is encoded by the GATM gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the biosynthesis of guanidinoacetate, the immediate precursor of creatine. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 423 residues, a mass of 48.5 kDa, and is a member of the Amidinotransferase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is reported to be expressed in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, salivary gland and skeletal muscle tissue, with the highest expression in kidney. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The GATM gene has been associated with the disease, Cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome. Other alias names for this target include AT, CCDS3, FRTS, FRTS1, RFS, and AGAT.
There are GATM ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15 ng/L 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.
