These osteoprotegerin ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of osteoprotegerin in biological samples. osteoprotegerin is an alias of the human TNFRSF11B gene, which encodes the protein, TNF receptor superfamily member 11b. Notably, osteoprotegerin is known to play a role in the apoptotic pathway and extracellular matrix organization, among other functions. The TNFRSF11B protein is described to be 401 amino acid residues in length and 46 kilodaltons in mass. It is known to be a secreted protein. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in adult lung, heart, kidney, liver, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, small intestine, thyroid, lymph node, trachea, adrenal gland, testis, and bone marrow. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include OCIF, OPG, and PDB5.
There are osteoprotegerin ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 1 pg/mL and as high as 30 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
