COL12A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type XII alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL12A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and endodermal cell differentiation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 3063 residues, a mass of 333.1 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. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated. The COL12A1 gene has been associated with the disease, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. Other alias names for this target include BTHLM2, COL12A1L, DJ234P15.1, EDSMYP, UCMD2, and BA209D8.1.
The detection range for different COL12A1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.31 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
