Chicken Melanocyte protein PMEL (PMEL) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit supports the quantitative measurement of Melanocyte protein PMEL in chicken samples and is intended for research use only. It employs a colorimetric detection method and shows reactivity with chicken, with sample types including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.312–20 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.124 ng/mL. The kit specifically recognises natural and recombinant chicken Melanocyte protein PMEL (UniProt Q98917; molecular weight 77,038 Da), a protein involved in the polymerisation of melanin onto the core structure of melanosomes with the enzymic function of tyrosinase. Listed synonyms for the target include 115 kDa melanosomal matrix protein, Melanocyte protein Pmel 17, Premelanosome protein, Silver locus protein homolog, MMP115, PMEL17, and SILV.

Reagents are shipped at +4°C, with individual components stored at -20°C or 4°C as indicated. The kit is categorised under the Metabolism research area and targets a protein localised to the melanosome lumen on the fibrous matrix structure of the premelanosome.
