GDF2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein growth differentiation factor 2, which is encoded by the GDF2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in angiogenesis and cartilage development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 429 residues, a mass of 47.3 kDa, and is a member of the TGF-beta protein family. It is known to be secreted and is notably expressed in blood plasma. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The GDF2 gene has been associated with the disease, Telangiectasia. Other alias names for this target include BMP9, HHT5, bone morphogenetic protein 9, and BMP-9.
The detection range for different GDF2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.312 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.
