The following cementum protein 1 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of cementum protein 1 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CEMP1 gene. This protein is believed to play a role in development of the periodontium which surrounds and supports the teeth by promoting the differentiation of multi-potent cells from the periodontal ligament into cementoblasts to form the cementum. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 247 residues and a mass of 26 kDa. Its subcellular location is known to be in the nucleus and cytoplasm. In addition, it is noted to be expressed by cementoblasts, a subpopulation of periodontal ligament cells and cells located around vessels in periodontium. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally N-glycosylated and phosphorylated. This protein may also be known as cementoblastoma-derived protein 1 and cementum protein 23.
The detection range for different cementum protein 1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL.
