NPPC ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein natriuretic peptide C, which is encoded by the NPPC gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a type of hormone, which plays a role in endochondral ossification through regulation of cartilaginous growth plate chondrocytes proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 126 residues, a mass of 13.2 kDa, and is a member of the Natriuretic peptide protein family. It is known to be secreted. Other alias names for this target include CNP2, C-type natriuretic peptide, natriuretic peptide precursor type C, and CNP.
The detection range for different NPPC ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.61 pg/mL and as high as 64 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
