Bovine Asporin (ASPN) ELISA Kit

A sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie designed for the quantitative measurement of bovine asporin (ASPN) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay detects both natural and recombinant bovine asporin and is intended for research use only, supporting studies in the research area of metabolism.

Asporin is a secreted extracellular matrix protein that plays a critical role in regulating collagen fibrillogenesis and is involved in the development and maintenance of various tissues. Dysregulation of asporin has been linked to conditions such as osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for investigating these diseases. The associated UniProt entry is Q3ZBN5, with a reported molecular weight of 42,119 Da.

Reported performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.312–20 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.07 ng/mL. Reactivity is specific to bovine samples.
