NODAL ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein nodal growth differentiation factor, which is encoded by the NODAL gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be important for mesoderm formation and axial patterning during embryonic development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 347 residues, a mass of 39.6 kDa, and is a member of the TGF-beta protein family. It is known to be secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The NODAL gene has been associated with the disease, Heterotaxy. Other alias names for this target include HTX5 and nodal homolog.
Some NODAL ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
