CERS5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein ceramide synthase 5, which is encoded by the CERS5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a ceramide synthase that catalyzes the transfer of the acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a sphingoid base, with high selectivity toward palmitoyl-CoA (hexadecanoyl-CoA; C16:0-CoA). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 392 residues and a mass of 45.8 kDa. It is known to be localized in the ER. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated and glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include LAG1 longevity assurance homolog 5, TRAM homolog 4, sphingoid base N-palmitoyltransferase CERS5, sphingosine N-acyltransferase CERS5, and LAG1 homolog, ceramide synthase 5.
Some CERS5 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
