The CD147 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of CD147 in various samples. CD147 is an alternative name for the human BSG gene, which encodes the protein, basigin (Ok blood group). It has been mentioned that CD147 plays a role in angiogenesis and receptor-mediated signaling pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the BSG protein is 385 amino acid residues in length and 42.2 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 4 protein isoforms have been identified. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to have [isoform 1]: retina-specific expression. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include 5F7 and EMMPRIN.
The detection range for different CD147 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 6.25 pg/mL and as high as 5000 pg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
