MBS289301 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Muscle, skeletal receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (MUSK) ELISA Kit target analytes in
biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing MUSK. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS289301 kit is based on MUSK antibody-MUSK antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect MUSK antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, MUSK. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).

NCBI Summary for MUSK
This gene encodes a muscle-specific tyrosine kinase receptor. The encoded protein may play a role in clustering of the acetylcholine receptor in the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
UniProt Comments for MUSK
MUSK: a receptor tyrosine kinase that is essential for the establishment and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Its activation by agrin, a neuronally derived heparan-sulfate proteoglycan, and the agrin receptor (LRP4), leads to clustering of acetylcholine receptors on the postsynaptic side of the NMJ. Its activation by agrin requires Dok7, which interacts with the cytoplasmic portion of MuSK and activates its tyrosine kinase activity.
