COL2A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type II alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL2A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cartilage development and nervous system development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1487 residues, a mass of 141.8 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 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated. The COL2A1 gene has been associated with the disease, Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital type. Other alias names for this target include AOM, COL11A3, SEDC, STL1, collagen alpha-1(II) chain, and ANFH.
Some COL2A1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.16 ng/L and as high as 1000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
