MTPAP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein mitochondrial poly(A) polymerase, which is encoded by the MTPAP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a reported polymerase that creates the 3' poly(A) tail of mitochondrial transcripts. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 582 residues, a mass of 66.2 kDa, and is a member of the DNA polymerase type-B-like protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The MTPAP gene has been associated with the disease, Spastic ataxia. Other alias names for this target include SPAX4, TENT6, poly(A) RNA polymerase, mitochondrial, PAP-associated domain-containing protein 1, TUTase 1, and PAPD1.
The detection range for different MTPAP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
