Mouse Growth Differentiation Factor 5 (GDF5) ELISA Kit

GDF5, also referred to as cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein 1 (CDMP-1), is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family that directs skeletal patterning, chondrogenesis, joint morphogenesis, and tendon formation during embryonic and postnatal development. The Assay Genie ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of this signaling molecule in murine research samples through an antibody-based capture-and-detect workflow, intended for research use only.

Applications include osteoarthritis research, fracture healing studies, tendon repair investigations, and developmental bone biology. Each kit supplies reagents for 96 assays with all components necessary to establish a standard curve and evaluate unknown samples in parallel on standard microplate readers. Bound analyte is revealed through an enzyme conjugate that produces a measurable absorbance signal proportional to GDF5 concentration.

Mouse-reactive capture and detection antibodies are incorporated throughout the protocol to minimize off-target interactions with related BMP family members. The workflow integrates into common ELISA laboratory pipelines and is supplied as a complete kit with instructions covering sample handling, reagent preparation, and data interpretation.
