The following cardiotrophin 1 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of cardiotrophin 1 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CTF1 gene. This protein has been described to function in cell to cell signaling and muscle organ development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 201 residues, a mass of 21.2 kDa, and is a member of the IL-6 protein superfamily. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is reported to be highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, prostate and ovary. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. This protein may also be known as CT1, cardiophin 1, and CT-1.
The detection range for different cardiotrophin 1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 7.8 pg/mL and as high as 12000 pg/mL.
