Human Decorin (DCN) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA Kit is intended for the quantitative measurement of human Decorin (DCN) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids. The assay is reactive with human samples and shows specificity for natural and recombinant human Decorin. Decorin is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan involved in regulating cell growth, collagen fibrillogenesis, and tissue organization, and it has been linked to conditions including cancer, fibrosis, and arthritis, making it a relevant biomarker for research.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 31.2-2000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 10pg/mL, with an intra-assay CV of 6.8% and an inter-assay CV of 10.3%. The target protein is encoded by the DCN gene (Uniprot P07585), is secreted to the extracellular space and extracellular matrix, and may affect the rate of fibrils formation. Reported synonyms include Bone proteoglycan II, PG-S2, PG40, and SLRR1B. The kit is listed for the Epigenetics research area and is for research use only.
