MEPE ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein, which is encoded by the MEPE gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to promote renal phosphate excretion and inhibits intestinal phosphate absorption. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 525 residues, a mass of 58.4 kDa, and is a member of the PF07175/osteoregulin protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is noted to be expressed by osteoblasts. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include osteoblast/osteocyte factor 45, osteoregulin, and matrix, extracellular phosphoglycoprotein with ASARM motif (bone).
Some MEPE ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.31 ng/mL and as high as 2000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
