Mouse Hemoglobin subunit alpha (Hba) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit enables quantitative detection of mouse Hemoglobin subunit alpha (Hba). Reactivity is mouse and accepted samples include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay is specific for natural and recombinant mouse Hemoglobin subunit alpha.

The stated detection range is 1.56-100ng/mL, with a sensitivity of 0.84ng/mL. Listed synonyms for the target are Alpha-globin, Hemoglobin alpha chain, and Hba-a1. The associated protein is described as a heterotetramer of two alpha chains and two beta chains, with UniProt accession P01942 and a molecular weight of 17 kDa. Its described function is oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues.

Hemoglobin subunit alpha is highlighted as a biomarker relevant to research into conditions such as anemia, sickle cell disease, and hemoglobinopathies, including alpha-thalassemia. The kit is intended for research use only.
