PDGFD ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein platelet derived growth factor D, which is encoded by the PDGFD gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 370 residues, a mass of 42.8 kDa, and is a member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor protein family. It is known to be secreted and is notably expressed at high levels in the heart, pancreas, adrenal gland and ovary and at low levels in placenta, liver, kidney, prostate, testis, small intestine, spleen and colon. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include iris-expressed growth factor and spinal cord-derived growth factor B.
There are PDGFD ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 7 ng/L and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
