COL11A2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type XI alpha 2 chain, which is encoded by the COL11A2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to play an important role in fibrillogenesis by controlling lateral growth of collagen II fibrils. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1736 residues, a mass of 171.8 kDa, and is a member of the Fibrillar collagen protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. As many as 9 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL11A2 gene has been associated with the disease, Otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia. Other alias names for this target include DFNB53, FBCG2, HKE5, OSMEDA, OSMEDB, PARP, STL3, and DFNA13.
Some COL11A2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
