The TNFa ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of TNFa in various samples. TNFa is another term for the TNF gene, which encodes the protein, tumor necrosis factor in humans. It has been reported that TNFa plays a role in the apoptotic pathway, among other functions. Structurally, the TNF protein is described to be 233 amino acid residues in length and 25.6 kilodaltons in mass. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and is secreted. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated, cleaved, myristoylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include DIF and TNF-alpha.
There are TNFa ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.14 pg/mL and as high as 2000 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
