The Chondromodulin-1 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of Chondromodulin-1 in various samples. Chondromodulin-1 is an alternative name for the human CNMD gene, which encodes the protein, chondromodulin. It has been mentioned that Chondromodulin-1 plays a role in cartilage development and cell differentiation, among other functions. Structurally, the CNMD protein is 334 amino acid residues in length and 37.1 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the extracellular matrix of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in cartilage and cardiac valves. This protein is known to be cleaved and glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include BRICD3, CHM-I, and CHM1. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
