Porcine DCN (decorin) ELISA Kit (PRFI00234)

Quantify decorin, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan central to extracellular matrix biology, in pig samples with this ELISA Kit from Assay Genie. Decorin (DCN) regulates collagen fibrillogenesis, sequesters TGF-β, and modulates cell proliferation, migration, and tissue architecture, so it is widely studied in fibrosis models, wound-healing research, tendon and ligament biology, and cardiovascular investigations in swine.

The kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 Assays and is configured for a colorimetric readout on standard laboratory plate readers. It is intended for in vitro research use only and is validated on porcine serum samples and EDTA or heparin plasma specimens. Each package ships with a pre-coated microplate, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection reagent, and the wash and substrate buffers required to build a standard curve.

For routine handling, store kit components refrigerated at 4 °C, keep the plate sealed when not in use, and protect reagents from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted standards and equilibrate all components to room temperature before each run. Researchers characterizing decorin turnover in pig models of scar formation, connective tissue injury, or comparative cardiovascular disease will find this assay a practical addition to their workflow.
