PDPN ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein podoplanin, which is encoded by the PDPN gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to mediate effects on cell migration and adhesion through its different partners. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 162 residues, a mass of 16.7 kDa, and is a member of the Podoplanin protein family. It is reported to be highly expressed in placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and brain. As many as 6 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated and cleaved. Other alias names for this target include D2-40, GP36, GP40, Gp38, HT1A-1, OTS8, PA2.26, and AGGRUS.
The detection range for different PDPN ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 4.8 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.
