Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of GDF15 in mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: Bone morphogenetic proteins (e.g., BMP9\, MIM 605120) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (see TGFB1\, MIM 190180) superfamily and regulate tissue differentiation and maintenance. They are synthesized as precursor molecules that are processed at a dibasic cleavage site to release C-terminal domains containing a characteristic motif of 7 conserved cysteines in the mature protein.[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]
