COL9A2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type IX alpha 2 chain, which is encoded by the COL9A2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 689 residues, a mass of 65.1 kDa, and is a member of the Fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL9A2 gene has been associated with the disease, Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. Other alias names for this target include EDM2, MED, STL5, collagen alpha-2(IX) chain, alpha 2 type IX collagen, and DJ39G22.4.
Some COL9A2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 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.
