Human Osteomodulin (OMD) ELISA Kit

For researchers investigating bone matrix biology and proteoglycan function, this Assay Genie kit provides quantitative measurement of human Osteomodulin (OMD). OMD, also known as osteoadherin, is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family, expressed by osteoblasts and localized in mineralized connective tissues including bone, dentin, and the periodontal ligament. The protein participates in cell-matrix adhesion and interacts with collagen fibrils, contributing to matrix organization and skeletal tissue development. The immunoassay is configured for human reactivity and is supplied as a complete 96-assay kit containing all necessary reagents and a pre-coated microplate for colorimetric readout. Compatible sample matrices encompass serum-derived, plasma-derived, and tissue homogenate preparations from human donors, supporting diverse experimental designs in bone and connective tissue research. Applications include basic studies of skeletal development, osteoblast differentiation, periodontal ligament biology, mechanisms of bone disease, and extracellular matrix remodeling. The protocol follows standard ELISA methodology suitable for biomarker quantification in academic, clinical, and translational research laboratories.
