The following opticin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of opticin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the OPTC gene. This protein is reported to inhibit angiogenesis in the vitreous humor of the eye, and therefore represses neovascularization (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 332 residues, a mass of 37.3 kDa, and is a member of the Small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in cartilage and synovial membranes. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated, cleaved and sulfated. This protein may also be known as OPT and oculoglycan.
There are opticin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.312 ng/mL and as high as 20 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.
