The following Asporin ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of asporin in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the ASPN gene. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 380 residues, a mass of 43.4 kDa, and is a member of the Small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In addition, it is notably expressed in osteoarthritic articular cartilage, aorta, uterus. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Osteoarthritis. This protein may also be known as PLAP-1, PLAP1, SLRR1C, asporin (LRR class 1), asporin proteoglycan, and OS3.
The detection range for different asporin ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 34.37 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL.
