The following Peripherin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of peripherin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the PRPH gene. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 470 residues, a mass of 53.7 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in the neurons of the outer hair cells in the organ of Corti and to a lesser extent in type I spiral ganglion cells. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This protein may also be known as PRPH1, neurofilament 4 (57kD), and NEF4.
There are peripherin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 78.1 pg/mL and as high as 50 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.
