Human Brevican (BCAN) ELISA Kit

The Human Brevican (BCAN) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie supports quantitative measurement of brevican, a brain-enriched chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of the lectican family that is abundant in the central nervous system extracellular matrix. Brevican is widely studied in neuroscience and oncology research, particularly in investigations of glioma invasion, perineuronal net remodeling, synaptic plasticity, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease. The microplate-based format provides capture antibodies, detection reagents, standards, and buffers sufficient for the stated number of assays, with all incubations performed on a standard ELISA workflow. Unopened kit components should be stored refrigerated and protected from light, while reconstituted standards and detection antibody should be aliquoted and frozen at -20 degrees C to limit freeze-thaw cycles. For in vitro research use only, the kit is intended for laboratories profiling BCAN expression in tissue homogenates and cell lysates as part of basic and translational neuroscience studies, including biomarker discovery in glioblastoma multiforme and other central nervous system pathologies where brevican cleavage and shedding are of mechanistic interest. Researchers investigating ADAMTS-mediated proteolysis, hyaluronan-binding partners, and extracellular matrix remodeling will find this reagent useful for endpoint quantification across experimental cohorts.
