The BPA-2 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of BPA-2 in various samples. BPA-2 is an alternative name for the human COL17A1 gene, which encodes the protein, collagen type XVII alpha 1 chain. It has been mentioned that BPA-2 plays a role in cell matrix adhesion and epidermis development, among other functions. Structurally, the COL17A1 protein is 1497 amino acid residues in length and 150.4 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the extracellular matrix of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in skin. This protein is known to be glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include BA16H23.2, BP180, and BPA-2. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
