Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of COL9a3 in human tissue homogenates.
Target Information: This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
