Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of GDF6 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily of secreted signaling molecules. It is required for normal formation of some bones and joints in the limbs, skull, and axial skeleton. Mutations in this gene result in colobomata, which are congenital abnormalities in ocular development, and in Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS), which is a congenital disorder of spinal segmentation.
