COL27A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type XXVII alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL27A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to play a role in during the calcification of cartilage and the transition of cartilage to bone. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1860 residues, a mass of 186.9 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 glycosylated. The COL27A1 gene has been associated with the disease, Steel syndrome. Other alias names for this target include collagen alpha-1(XXVII) chain and collagen, type XXVII, alpha 1.
The detection range for different COL27A1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1.56 ng/mL and as high as 500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
