Meprin A subunit alpha, encoded by the **MEP1A** gene, is a component of the meprin A metalloproteinase complex, which is involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and proteolysis. Meprin A is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase found predominantly in the kidneys, intestines, and other tissues. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including inflammation, tissue repair, and the processing of bioactive peptides. The alpha subunit, specifically, is a part of the hetero-oligomeric enzyme complex, which combines with the beta subunit to form an active enzyme. Abnormalities in meprin A function have been associated with several pathological conditions, including kidney diseases and cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplier\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoster Bio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABMIUM evidence status\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABMIUM Verified™ collaborator-tested data\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCatalogue reference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEK1552\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct category\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePicoKine® ELISA Kits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReactive species\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHuman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTested applications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eELISA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGene name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMEP1A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProtein name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeprin A subunit alpha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSample type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssay range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.56 ng\/ml - 100 ng\/ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;50 pg\/ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImmunogen\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpression system for standard: NS0; Immunogen sequence: V22-Q601\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStore at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months.
