Human Growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of human Growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15). It detects the analyte in human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants using a colorimetric detection method and is supplied for research use only.

Reported performance specifications include a detection range of 15.6-1000 pg/mL, a sensitivity of 7.8 pg/mL, an intra-assay CV of 5.3%, and an inter-assay CV of 8.2%. The assay is specific for natural and recombinant human GDF15 and is indicated for cancer research applications. GDF15 is a disulfide-linked homodimer that belongs to the TGF-beta family and acts as a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the cellular stress response, with reported roles in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, as well as metabolic processes including food intake and energy expenditure via its receptor GFRAL.
