The C15 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of C15 in various samples. C15 is another term for the PLAC8 gene, which encodes the protein, placenta associated 8 in humans. It has been reported that C15 plays a role in brown fat cell differentiation and the regulation of apoptosis, among other functions. Structurally, the PLAC8 protein is described to be 115 amino acid residues in length and 12.5 kilodaltons in mass. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed at high levels in plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Other names for this target antigen include DGIC and PNAS-144.
