The following matrix Gla protein ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of matrix Gla protein in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MGP gene. This protein is reported to associate with the organic matrix of bone and cartilage. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 103 residues, a mass of 12.4 kDa, and is a member of the Osteocalcin/matrix Gla protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Keutel syndrome. This protein may also be known as MGLAP, NTI, cell growth-inhibiting gene 36 protein, and GIG36.
There are matrix Gla protein ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 5 ng/L and as high as 70 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
