Mouse Growth/differentiation factor 9 (Gdf9) ELISA Kit

A sandwich-format ELISA kit from Assay Genie designed for quantitative detection of mouse Growth/differentiation factor 9 (GDF9), a secreted cytokine required for ovarian folliculogenesis. The kit is intended for research use only and has been validated for use with mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids.

According to manufacturer specifications, the assay has a detection range of 0.156-10ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.071ng/mL. Specificity is reported for natural and recombinant mouse GDF9, which belongs to the TGF-beta family and is associated with primordial follicle development, granulosa cell proliferation, and regulation of STAR expression and progesterone production. The target protein has a UniProt accession of Q07105, NCBI Gene ID 14566, and a molecular weight of 49,649 Da.
