Rat Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A, SP-A ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 31.25 pg/ml - 2000 pg/ml Sensitivity: 7.8 pg/ml Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: In presence of calcium ions, it binds to surfactant phospholipids and contributes to lower the surface tension at the air- liquid interface in the alveoli of the mammalian lung and is essential for normal respiration. Enhances the expression of MYO18A/SP-R210 on alveolar macrophages. [The UniProt Consortium]
