Heparan sulfate (HS) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this competitive ELISA Kit is intended for the quantitative measurement of heparan sulfate across a working range of 4.69-300 ng/mL. Detection is read at 450 nm using the colorimetric endpoint, and the assay has universal reactivity. The kit is validated for use with serum and plasma samples, and the manufacturer's protocol additionally describes preparation of cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and breast milk.

Heparan sulfate is described as a vital component of the extracellular matrix and cell surface, with roles in cell adhesion, growth factor signaling, and inflammation. The molecule is implicated in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and inflammatory disorders, making it a target of interest for diagnostic and therapeutic research. The kit is for research use only.
