TAOK1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein TAO kinase 1, which is encoded by the TAOK1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a protein kinase involved in various processes such as p38/MAPK14 stress-activated MAPK cascade, DNA damage response and regulation of cytoskeleton stability. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1001 residues, a mass of 116.1 kDa, and is a member of the STE Ser/Thr protein kinase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasm and is reported to be highly expressed in the testis, and to a lower extent also expressed in the brain, placenta, colon and skeletal muscle. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and phosphorylated. The TAOK1 gene has been associated with the disease, Developmental delay with or without intellectual impairment or behavioral abnormalities. Other alias names for this target include MARK Kinase, STE20-like kinase PSK2, kinase from chicken homolog B, microtubule affinity regulating kinase kinase, and serine/threonine-protein kinase TAO1.
Some TAOK1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
