Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of Ferroportin-1, an alias of the protein, solute carrier family 40 member 1. The official gene symbol is SLC40A1. The kits can detect several species variants of the protein, including: human, mouse, rat, bovine, chicken, primate, guinea pig, and other mammalian. The protein, with a mass of 62.5 kDa and length of 571 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It is a member of the Ferroportin (FP) (TC 2.A.100) family, SLC40A subfamily and may be known by other names, including: MST079, IREG1, FPN1, solute carrier family 40 (iron-regulated transporter) member 1, solute carrier family 11 (proton-coupled divalent metal ion transporters) member 3, and iron regulated gene 1, and MTP1.
