COL9A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type IX alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL9A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 921 residues, a mass of 91.9 kDa, and is a member of the Fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL9A1 gene has been associated with the disease, Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. Other alias names for this target include EDM6, MED, STL4, collagen alpha-1(IX) chain, alpha-1(IX) collagen chain, and DJ149L1.1.2.
There are COL9A1 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.625 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
