Human PIGW (Phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class W protein) ELISA KIT (HUFI04962)

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis, the pathway that tethers many cell-surface proteins to the plasma membrane, depends on PIGW, and this 96 Assays ELISA Kit from Assay Genie provides a colorimetric, in vitro method for quantifying PIGW protein in human research samples. The kit is configured for standard microplate workflows and is supplied with a pre-coated plate, biotinylated detection antibody, serial protein standards, wash concentrate, chromogenic substrate solution, and stop reagent sufficient to run a full standard curve and unknowns in parallel.

PIGW is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident acyltransferase that participates in the inositol-acylation step of the GPI anchor pathway, and altered PIGW expression has been studied in the context of inherited GPI deficiency disorders as well as in tumour cell-line profiling. Quantitative measurement of PIGW therefore supports translational glycobiology and cell-surface biology research.

The workflow follows sequential incubation and wash steps, with absorbance read on a standard plate reader. Assay Genie provides lot-specific validation data with each shipment. The kit is intended for research use only, not for clinical diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making.
