BMP4 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein bone morphogenetic protein 4, which is encoded by the BMP4 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes, including neurogenesis, vascular development, angiogenesis and osteogenesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 408 residues, a mass of 46.6 kDa, and is a member of the TGF-beta protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is reported to be expressed in the lung and lower levels seen in the kidney. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The BMP4 gene has been associated with the disease, Microphthalmia. Other alias names for this target include BMP2B1, MCOPS6, OFC11, ZYME, bone morphogenetic protein 2B, and BMP2B.
The detection range for different BMP4 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.3 ng/L and as high as 400 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
