The following Fibroblast Growth Factor 17 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of fibroblast growth factor 17 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the FGF17 gene. This protein is known to play an important role in the regulation of embryonic development and as signaling molecule in the induction and patterning of the embryonic brain. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 216 residues, a mass of 24.9 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 found to be highly expressed in the embryonic 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, Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 20 with or without anosmia. This protein may also be known as FGF-13 and HH20.
The detection range for different fibroblast growth factor 17 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 7.81 pg/mL and as high as 60 ng/mL.
