COL15A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type XV alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL15A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a structural protein that stabilizes microvessels and muscle cells, both in heart and in skeletal muscle. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1388 residues, a mass of 141.7 kDa, and is a member of the Multiplexin collagen protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is notably expressed in fibroblasts and urine. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include collagen XV, alpha-1 polypeptide, collagen type XV proteoglycan, collagen, type XV, alpha 1, endostatin-XV, restin, and collagen alpha-1(XV) chain.
The detection range for different COL15A1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 62.5 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
