| Product Name | Human Beta cellulin (BTC) ELISA Kit |
|---|---|
| Description | Betacellulin(BTC),has been identified in the conditioned medium of cell lines derived from mouse pancreatic beta cell tumors. Betacellulin is a 32-kilodalton glycoprotein that appears to be processed from a larger transmembrane precursor by proteolytic cleavage. The carboxyl-terminal domain of betacellulin has 50 percent sequence similarity with that of rat transforming growth factor alpha. Betacellulin is a potent mitogen for retinal pigment epithelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells.Watanabe et al.æpurified soluble forms of human BTC to homogeneity from the conditioned medium of mouse A9 cells transfected with the human BTC precursor cDNA. Three types of soluble BTC, apparently derived from a single gene, were identified and their biologic activities assessed. This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human BTC. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human BTC and analogues was observed. |
| Method | Sandwich ELISA |
| Detection Range | 0.156-10 ng/mL |
| Sensitivity | 0.064 ng/mL |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Sample Types | Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids. |
