OPTC ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein opticin, which is encoded by the OPTC gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to inhibit angiogenesis in the vitreous humor of the eye, and therefore represses neovascularization (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 332 residues, a mass of 37.3 kDa, and is a member of the Small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is reported to be expressed in cartilage and synovial membranes. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated, cleaved and sulfated. Other alias names for this target include OPT and oculoglycan.
The detection range for different OPTC ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 90 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
