Chicken Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie provides a sandwich-format ELISA kit designed for the quantitative measurement of chicken Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4). The assay uses a colorimetric detection method and is validated for use with chicken samples. According to the manufacturer, BMP4 is a key signalling molecule involved in bone formation and development and plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, differentiation and tissue regeneration processes.

Performance figures quoted by the manufacturer include a detection range of 15.6-1000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 5.4pg/mL. The kit is intended for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, and recognises natural and recombinant chicken BMP4. At the protein level, BMP4 is described as a disulfide-linked secreted homodimer (UniProt Q90752) that forms part of a complex with TWSG1 and CHRD and negatively regulates the structure and function of the limb apical ectodermal ridge. The product is for research use only.
