FAP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein fibroblast activation protein alpha, which is encoded by the FAP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in angiogenesis and cell adhesion. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 760 residues, a mass of 87.7 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase S9B protein family. It is reported to be expressed in adipose tissue. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include FAPA, FAPalpha, SIMP, prolyl endopeptidase FAP, 170 kDa melanoma membrane-bound gelatinase, and DPPIV.
There are FAP ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 12 pg/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.
