Human Growth/differentiation factor 2/GDF2 ELISA Kit

Designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Growth/differentiation factor 2 (GDF2) in research samples, this Sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie uses a double-antibody format with colorimetric detection. The kit is reactive with human samples, including serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid sample types. GDF2, also referred to as bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9), is a key regulator of cell growth, differentiation, and tissue repair, with established roles in skeletal development and vascular homeostasis. Dysregulation of GDF2 has been linked to cardiovascular, skeletal, and liver disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for disease research and therapeutic development, particularly within the cardiovascular research area.

The assay reports a sensitivity of 0.375 ng/mL and a measurable range of 0.625-40 ng/mL, with all components stored at 2-8°C for 12 months. Linearity testing on serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma across 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8 dilutions returned percentage ranges of 85-104% (serum), 88-96% (EDTA plasma), and 81-96% (heparin plasma), while spike-and-recovery averages of 96% (serum), 96% (EDTA plasma), and 94% (heparin plasma) support reliable quantitation across matrices.
