The following Surfactant Protein D ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of surfactant protein D in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the SFTPD gene. This protein is said to contribute to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 375 residues, a mass of 37.7 kDa, and is a member of the SFTPD protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in the lung, brain, pancreas and adipose tissue (mainly mature adipocytes). In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as PSP-D, SFTP4, SP-D, pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D, collectin-7, and COLEC7.
Some Surfactant Protein D ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 7.3 pg/mL and as high as 640 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.
