Human Phosphotriesterase-related protein (PTER) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie supplies a sandwich ELISA kit for the precise measurement of human Phosphotriesterase-related protein (PTER) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay uses a colorimetric detection method, is reactive with human samples only and is intended for research use only.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.156–10 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.082 ng/mL. Precision is reported as an intra-assay CV of 7.3% and an inter-assay CV of 8.6%. Recovery averaged 96% (range 90–102%) in serum and 98% (range 92–104%) in plasma. The kit detects both natural and recombinant human PTER. Listed synonyms include Parathion hydrolase-related protein and hPHRP. UniProt accession Q96BW5; NCBI Gene ID 9317; molecular weight 38 kDa.

PTER belongs to the phosphotriesterase family and functions as a zinc-ion-binding hydrolase active in the breakdown of organophosphate compounds, a role relevant to research into pesticide exposure, organophosphate poisoning and associated neurodegenerative or environmental health contexts.
