DCN ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein decorin, which is encoded by the DCN gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to affect the rate of fibrils formation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 359 residues, a mass of 39.7 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 notably expressed in placenta. As many as 5 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The DCN gene has been associated with the disease, Corneal dystrophy. Other alias names for this target include DSPG2, PG40, PGII, PGS2, SLRR1B, bone proteoglycan II, dermatan sulphate proteoglycans II, and CSCD.
The detection range for different DCN ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.17 pg/mL and as high as 180 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
