SFTPD ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein surfactant protein D, which is encoded by the SFTPD gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is said to contribute to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 375 residues, a mass of 37.7 kDa, and is a member of the SFTPD protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is reported to be expressed in the lung, brain, pancreas and adipose tissue (mainly mature adipocytes). The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include PSP-D, SFTP4, SP-D, pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D, collectin-7, and COLEC7.
There are SFTPD ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 7.3 pg/mL and as high as 400 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
