TUFM ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein Tu translation elongation factor, mitochondrial, which is encoded by the TUFM gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to promote the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 455 residues, a mass of 49.9 kDa, and is a member of the Classic translation factor GTPase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria. The TUFM gene has been associated with the disease, Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency. Other alias names for this target include EF-TuMT, EFTU, P43, elongation factor Tu, mitochondrial, EF-Tu, and COXPD4.
The detection range for different TUFM ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL 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.
