The following Versican ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of versican in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the VCAN gene. This protein is believed to play a role in intercellular signaling and in connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 3396 residues, a mass of 372.8 kDa, and is a member of the Aggrecan/versican proteoglycan protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In addition, it is notably expressed in placenta. As many as 5 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Wagner vitreoretinopathy. This protein may also be known as ERVR, GHAP, PG-M, WGN, WGN1, versican core protein, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein 2, and CSPG2.
There are versican ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 27.4 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
