TRPM8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8, which is encoded by the TRPM8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in detection of sensations such as coolness, by being activated by cold temperature below 25 degrees Celsius. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1104 residues, a mass of 127.7 kDa, and is a member of the Transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and cell membrane and is notably expressed in prostate. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include transient receptor potential p8, transient receptor potential subfamily M member 8, and TRPM8 cationic channel.
The detection range for different TRPM8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/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.
