The TGF beta 1 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of TGF beta 1 in various samples. TGF beta 1 is an alternative name for the human TGFB1 gene, which encodes the protein, transforming growth factor beta 1. It has been mentioned that TGF beta 1 plays a role in cell migration and chondrocyte differentiation, among other functions. Structurally, the TGFB1 protein is described to be 390 amino acid residues in length and 44.3 kilodaltons in mass. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in bone. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated and cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include CED, DPD1, and IBDIMDE.
The detection range for different TGF beta 1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.97 pg/mL and as high as 400 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
