Cat#:EIA-585C;Product Name:Human Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein, COMP ELISA Kit;Size:5 plates;Intended use:RUO;Synonym:COMP; cartilage oligomeric matrix protein; MED; EDM1; EPD1; PSACH; THBS5; MGC131819; MGC149768; thrombospondin-5; TSP5; pseudoachondroplasia (epiphyseal dysplasia 1, multiple); cartilage oligomeric matrix protein(pseudoachondroplasia, epiphyseal dysplasia 1, multiple); cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (pseudoachondroplasia, epiphyseal dysplasia 1, multiple); Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein; Thrombospondin 5; protein(pseudoachondroplasia, epiphyseal dysplasia 1, multiple);Background:The protein encoded by this gene is a noncollagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) protein. It consists of five identical glycoprotein subunits, each with EGF-like and calcium-binding (thrombospondin-like) domains. Oligomerization results from formation of a five-stranded coiled coil and disulfides. Binding to other ECM proteins such as collagen appears to depend on divalent cations. Mutations can cause the osteochondrodysplasias pseudochondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED).;Species Reactivity:Human;Application:Quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
