IGF2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein insulin like growth factor 2, which is encoded by the IGF2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in organ morphogenesis and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 180 residues, a mass of 20.1 kDa, and is a member of the Insulin protein family. It is known to be secreted and is found to be expressed in heart, placenta, lung, liver, muscle, kidney, tongue, limb, eye and pancreas. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated and cleaved. The IGF2 gene has been associated with the disease, Silver-Russell syndrome. Other alias names for this target include GRDF, IGF-II, PP9974, SRS3, insulin-like growth factor II, and C11orf43.
Some IGF2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.78 pg/mL and as high as 4500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
