COL9A3 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type IX alpha 3 chain, which is encoded by the COL9A3 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 684 residues, a mass of 63.6 kDa, and is a member of the Fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL9A3 gene has been associated with the disease, Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. Other alias names for this target include EDM3, IDD, MED, STL6, collagen alpha-3(IX) chain, and DJ885L7.4.1.
The detection range for different COL9A3 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 31.2 pg/mL 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.
