The AME ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of AME in various samples. AME is an alternative name for the human HSD11B2 gene, which encodes the protein, hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 2. It has been mentioned that AME plays a role in the response to xenobiotic compounds, among other functions. Structurally, the HSD11B2 protein is described to be 405 amino acid residues in length and 44.1 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the ER of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in kidney, placenta, pancreas, prostate, ovary, small intestine and colon, and in lower levels in the spleen and testis. Other names for this target antigen include AME1 and HSD11K. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
