GDF9 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein growth differentiation factor 9, which is encoded by the GDF9 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be required for ovarian folliculogenesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 454 residues, a mass of 51.4 kDa, and is a member of the TGF-beta protein family. It is known to be secreted and is reported to be expressed in ovarian granulosa cells. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated and glycosylated. The GDF9 gene has been associated with the disease, Premature ovarian failure. Other alias names for this target include POF14.
The detection range for different GDF9 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1 ng/L and as high as 500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
