Human FGF5/Fibroblast growth factor 5 ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this sandwich ELISA, double-antibody kit provides quantitative colorimetric detection of human Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 (FGF5). The assay is intended for research use, is reactive with human samples, and accepts serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysates, and other liquid sample types. The kit is reported to have a sensitivity of 46.875 pg/mL and a working range of 78.125-5000 pg/mL.

FGF5 is highlighted by the manufacturer as a key contributor to cellular growth and development, with a particular role in hair follicle formation and regulation. Its dysregulation has been associated with alopecia and certain skin disorders, positioning it as a potential biomarker for studying these and related conditions. The kit is positioned for research exploring FGF5's involvement in physiological and pathological processes.

Storage is specified at 2-8°C for 12 months. The kit is supplied with a pre-coated microplate and reagents to perform a sandwich immunoassay involving biotin-labeled detection antibody, HRP-streptavidin (SABC) binding, TMB substrate development, and absorbance measurement at 450 nm. The manufacturer provides linearity and recovery data for serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma sample matrices, supporting the kit's reliability across common sample types.
