Growth Factor ELISA Kits

Growth Factors are signaling proteins that function as ligands to specific receptor tyrosine kinases on the surface of target cells. These receptors in turn trigger intracellular pathways to promote key processes such as cell growth, division, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Growth factors are very diverse and include several families, such as fibroblast growth factors, bone morphogenic proteins, and platelet derived growth factors. Each family is dedicated to a specialized cellular response and may be secreted from a unique tissue or cell type. Because of their diverse features and effects, growth factors are of particular interest, especially in the research areas of development, immunology, cancer, and therapeutics. To aid researchers in these efforts, we have listed thousands of Growth Factor ELISA kits from over 30 suppliers- each conveniently categorized by target, species, and conjugate.
