These SMAD8 ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of SMAD8 in biological samples. SMAD8 is an alias of the human SMAD9 gene, which encodes the protein, SMAD family member 9. Notably, SMAD8 is known to play a role in the morphogenesis of anatomical structure and cell differentiation, among other functions. The SMAD9 protein is 467 amino acid residues in length and 52.5 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is found to be expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, prostate, testis, ovary and small intestine. This protein is known to be phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include MADH6, MADH9, and PPH2. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
