Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of LECT2 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a secreted, 16 kDa protein that acts as a chemotactic factor to neutrophils and stimulates the growth of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. This protein has high sequence similarity to the chondromodulin repeat regions of the chicken myb-induced myeloid 1 protein. A polymorphism in this gene may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
