The following Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of fibroblast growth factor 5 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the FGF5 gene. This protein is known to play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell differentiation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 268 residues, a mass of 29.6 kDa, and is a member of the Heparin-binding growth factors protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in neonatal brain. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Trichomegaly. This protein may also be known as Smag-82, TCMGLY, heparin-binding growth factor 5, and HBGF-5.
There are fibroblast growth factor 5 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 7.8 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
