The YKL40 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of YKL40 in various samples. YKL40 is an alternative name for the human CHI3L1 gene, which encodes the protein, chitinase 3 like 1. It has been mentioned that YKL40 plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis, among other functions. Structurally, the CHI3L1 protein is described to be 383 amino acid residues in length and 42.6 kilodaltons in mass. Its subcellular localization is in the ER, cytoplasm, and is secreted. This protein is known to be glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include ASRT7, CGP-39, and GP-39.
Some YKL40 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 23.44 pg/mL and as high as 3500 pg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
