MGP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein matrix Gla protein, which is encoded by the MGP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to associate with the organic matrix of bone and cartilage. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 103 residues, a mass of 12.4 kDa, and is a member of the Osteocalcin/matrix Gla protein family. It is known to be secreted. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The MGP gene has been associated with the disease, Keutel syndrome. Other alias names for this target include MGLAP, NTI, cell growth-inhibiting gene 36 protein, and GIG36.
Some MGP ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.625 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
