The following thrombospondin 1 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of thrombospondin 1 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the THBS1 gene. This protein is reported to be an adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1170 residues, a mass of 129.4 kDa, and is a member of the Thrombospondin protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the ER, extracellular matrix, and is secreted. In addition, it is noted to be expressed by platelets. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as TSP, TSP-1, TSP1, glycoprotein G, thrombospondin-1p180, thrombospondin-p50, and THBS.
Some thrombospondin 1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 3 ng/L and as high as 2000 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.
