The following biglycan ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of biglycan in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the BGN gene. This protein is suspected to be involved in collagen fiber assembly. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 368 residues, a mass of 41.7 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 placenta. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Meester-Loeys syndrome. This protein may also be known as MRLS, PG-S1, PGI, SEMDX, SLRR1A, bone/cartilage proteoglycan-I, dermatan sulphate proteoglycan I, and DSPG1.
The detection range for different biglycan ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1.25 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL.
