The following nodal growth differentiation factor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of nodal growth differentiation factor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the NODAL gene. This protein is known to be important for mesoderm formation and axial patterning during embryonic development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 347 residues, a mass of 39.6 kDa, and is a member of the TGF-beta protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Heterotaxy. This protein may also be known as HTX5 and nodal homolog.
The detection range for different nodal growth differentiation factor ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL.
