Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Human LAG1 longevity assurance homolog 6 (LASS6) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Longevity assurance genes (LAGs) represent a subgroup of the homeobox gene family.Like other LAG family members, the LASS6 protein contained a homeodomain and LAG1 domain. In phylogenetic analyses, it displayed highest homology to LASS5. The corresponding gene was localized to human chromosome 2q24.3, spanning a rather large genomic region of 318 kb. Orthologous sequences in mouse and zebrafish suggested a conservation of LASS6 in vertebrates as the protein and corresponding genomic sequences were highly conserved. LASS6 expression was analyzed in silico, and the gene was shown to be broadly expressed in a wide range of tissues. Furthermore, available microarray data suggested a role in cancer differentiation and early embryonic development.
