MAFA ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein MAF bZIP transcription factor A, which is encoded by the MAFA gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a transcription factor that activates insulin gene expression. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 353 residues, a mass of 37 kDa, and is a member of the BZIP protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and is reported to be expressed in the islets of Langerhans. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. The MAFA gene has been associated with the disease, Insulinomatosis and diabetes mellitus. Other alias names for this target include RIPE3b1 activator, RIPE3b1 factor, pancreatic beta-cell-specific transcriptional activator, transcription factor RIPE3b1, and transcription factor MafA.
There are MAFA ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/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.
