EIF5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5, which is encoded by the EIF5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the 40S ribosomal initiation complex (40SmRNAMet-tRNA[F]eIF-2GTP) with the subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit resulting in the release of eIF-2 and the guanine nucleotide. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 431 residues, a mass of 49.2 kDa, and is a member of the EIF-2-beta/eIF-5 protein family. The EIF5 gene has been associated with the disease, . Other alias names for this target include EIF-5A.
The detection range for different EIF5 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
