Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (FGF18) ELISA Kit

Skeletal development, cartilage formation, and pulmonary biology all depend on signaling driven by Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (FGF18), a heparin-binding member of the broader FGF growth factor family. Quantifying FGF18 protein in experimental samples supports research into osteoarthritis progression, bone and cartilage repair pathways, lung organogenesis, and hair follicle growth regulation.

From Assay Genie, this 96-assay microplate kit delivers quantitative measurement of human FGF18 through a colorimetric readout. Validated sample matrices include tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants prepared from human specimens. Reagents are shipped refrigerated and should be kept cold between uses to preserve antibody binding activity and standard curve performance across the kit's shelf life.

Intended for in vitro research use only, the kit supports applications such as conditioned media analysis, primary tissue profiling, and pathway studies examining FGF family signaling. Researchers commonly pair FGF18 measurements with other growth factor readouts to characterize paracrine and autocrine networks in cell-based models, and the human-specific antibody pair enables translational work that bridges cell culture findings with clinical sample cohorts.
