The following Macrophage Expressed 1 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of macrophage expressed 1 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MPEG1 gene. This protein is known to play an important role in the innate immune response following bacterial infection by inserting into the bacterial surface to form pores (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 716 residues, a mass of 78.6 kDa, and is a member of the MPEG1 protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasmic vesicles. In addition, it is noted to be expressed constitutively in a variety of cell types including macrophages, natural killer cells, neutrophils, keratinocytes and monocytes. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally ubiquitinated and glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Immunodeficiency. This protein may also be known as macrophage expressed gene 1, macrophage gene 1 protein, perforin 2, and macrophage-expressed gene 1 protein.
The detection range for different Macrophage Expressed 1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.312 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL.
