BIRC5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5, which is encoded by the BIRC5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a multitasking protein that has dual roles in promoting cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 142 residues, a mass of 16.4 kDa, and is a member of the IAP protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm and is found to be preferentially expressed in fetal kidney and liver, and to lesser extent, lung and brain. As many as 7 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated, acetylated and phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include API4 and EPR-1.
Some BIRC5 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.25 pg/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.
