TDGF1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1, which is encoded by the TDGF1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell differentiation and TNF-mediated cellular signaling pathways. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 188 residues, a mass of 21.2 kDa, and is a member of the EGF-CFC (Cripto-1/FRL1/Cryptic) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted and is found to be highly expressed in gastric and colorectal carcinomas than in their normal counterparts. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include CR-1, CRGF, CRIPTO, cripto-1 growth factor, epidermal growth factor-like cripto protein CR1, and CR.
The detection range for different TDGF1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 7.81 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
