The NG2 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of NG2 in various samples. NG2 is another term for the CSPG4 gene, which encodes the protein, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 in humans. It has been reported that NG2 plays a role in angiogenesis and intracellular signal transduction, among other functions. Structurally, the CSPG4 protein is described to be 2322 amino acid residues in length and 250.5 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in fibroblasts. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include CSPG4A, HMW-MAA, and MCSP.
The detection range for different NG2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 300 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
