Human Thrombospondin-5/COMP PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS1207)

Thrombospondin-5, also known as Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP), is a pentameric extracellular matrix glycoprotein expressed by articular chondrocytes and widely studied as a circulating biomarker of cartilage turnover in human samples. Assay Genie's PharmaGenie ELISA kit supports quantitative measurement of this matrix protein in a microplate-based, two-antibody immunoassay format, supplied as a 96-assay kit for use with standard plate readers.

The assay accepts cell culture supernatant, plasma, and serum specimen types, enabling flexibility between in vitro chondrocyte studies and translational biomarker investigations of joint health. Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein quantification has been applied in research on osteoarthritis progression, joint injury recovery, rheumatoid arthritis pathology, and skeletal development, providing investigators a tool to monitor extracellular matrix remodeling.

For storage, refrigerate the kit components to preserve reagent activity across the indicated shelf life. Each kit includes the essential reagents, standards, and microplate required to perform 96 assays in accordance with the supplied protocol.
