BGN ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein biglycan, which is encoded by the BGN gene in humans. Functionally, 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. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is notably expressed in placenta. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The BGN gene has been associated with the disease, Meester-Loeys syndrome. Other alias names for this target include MRLS, PG-S1, PGI, SEMDX, SLRR1A, bone/cartilage proteoglycan-I, dermatan sulphate proteoglycan I, and DSPG1.
The detection range for different BGN ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1.25 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
