FGF1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein fibroblast growth factor 1, which is encoded by the FGF1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to play an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 155 residues, a mass of 17.5 kDa, and is a member of the Heparin-binding growth factors protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and is secreted and is reported to be highly expressed in the kidney and brain. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include AFGF and ECGF.
The detection range for different FGF1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1 ng/L and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
