Mouse Microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (Mfap5) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) in mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. It supports research into tissue remodeling, wound healing, and related disease pathways and is intended for use with mouse samples.

Reported performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.312-20ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.156ng/mL. Intra-assay precision is reported at 7.8% and inter-assay precision at 10.2%. Linearity data is provided for serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma across dilutions from 1:2 to 1:16, with average recovery values of 90% (84-96%) for serum and 92% (86-98%) for plasma. The kit shows specificity for natural and recombinant mouse MFAP5 and is for research use only.

MFAP5 is a component of the elastin-associated microfibrils, secreted into the extracellular space and matrix where it contributes to extracellular matrix organization. It may play a role in hematopoiesis and in cardiovascular signaling, and its dysregulation has been linked to pathological conditions including fibrosis, atherosclerosis, and cancer.
