Human HS (Heparan Sulfate) ELISA Kit (HUFI04766)

Heparan sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan that decorates cell surface proteoglycans and the extracellular matrix, where it modulates growth factor binding, coagulation cascades, and pathogen entry pathways. This competitive immunoassay from Assay Genie is configured to quantify circulating heparan sulfate in human specimens using a microplate-based protocol with an absorbance read-out.

Sample matrices compatible with the assay include serum fractions, plasma fractions, and related liquid biospecimens collected from human donors, making it suitable for studies of glycocalyx shedding, endothelial barrier dysfunction, sepsis biomarkers, and tumor-associated proteoglycan remodeling. Researchers investigating heparanase activity, diabetic microvascular complications, or inflammation-driven damage to the endothelial surface layer frequently track free heparan sulfate chains as a quantitative indicator of glycocalyx integrity.

Reagents are supplied in a single pack with components pre-matched for 96 determinations, and the assay is intended for research use only. Refrigerated storage of kit components is recommended prior to first use.
