CTHRC1: ELISA Kits

CTHRC1 (Collagen triple helix repeat-containing protein 1) is a 28-30 kDa, secreted glycoprotein that bears similarity to the C1q/TNFalpha-related family of proteins. It is expressed by disparate cell types, including renal epithelium, neurons, osteoblasts, and smooth muscle cells. Functionally, it is recognized to be induced by BMP-2 and to block TGF beta-induced collagen type I and III synthesis. Mouse CTHRC1 is 245 amino acids in length. It contains a 32 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 16 ...
