Rat Growth Differentiation Factor 5 (GDF5) ELISA Kit

This Assay Genie immunoassay quantifies Growth Differentiation Factor 5 (GDF5), a BMP family member also designated CDMP-1 and BMP-14, in rat research samples. GDF5 drives skeletal morphogenesis, limb patterning, joint formation, and chondrocyte differentiation, supporting osteoarthritis research, fracture-healing studies, and investigations of congenital skeletal dysplasias such as brachydactyly linked to mutations in this gene.

Store unopened kit components refrigerated at 4°C; aliquot and freeze reconstituted standards at -20°C, limiting freeze-thaw cycles to preserve reagent activity. Equilibrate all vials to room temperature before the assay and shield the substrate from light during colour development. For research use only.
