The HERVW ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of HERVW in various samples. HERVW is another term for the ERVW-1 gene, which encodes the protein, endogenous retrovirus group W member 1, envelope in humans. It has been reported that HERVW plays a role in the morphogenesis of anatomical structure, among other functions. Structurally, the ERVW-1 protein is described to be 538 amino acid residues in length and 59.9 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is noted to be expressed at higher level in placental syncytiotrophoblast. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated and cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include ENV, ENV, and ENVW. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
