The following Aggrecan ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of aggrecan in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the ACAN gene. This protein has been described to function in cell adhesion and glial cell differentiation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 2530 residues, a mass of 261.3 kDa, and is a member of the Aggrecan/versican proteoglycan protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In addition, it is notably expressed in fibroblasts. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally cleaved and glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia type Kimberley. This protein may also be known as AGCAN, CSPG1, CSPGCP, MSK16, SEDK, SSOAOD, aggrecan core protein, and AGC1.
Some aggrecan ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 200 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.
