Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Mouse Laminin subunit alpha-5 (LAMA5) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Components of the extracellular matrix exert myriad effects on tissues throughout the body. In particular, the laminins, a family of heterotrimeric extracellular glycoproteins, affect tissue development and integrity in such diverse organs as the kidney, lung, skin, and nervous system. It is thought that laminins mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Laminins function as heterotrimeric complexes of alpha, beta, and gamma chains, with each chain type representing a different subfamily of proteins. Laminin subunit alpha-5 belongs to the alpha subfamily of laminin chains and is a major component of basement membranes.
• Storage and shipping:All of the components are shipped on ice packs/blue ice. Upon receiving the kit keep it at +4 degrees Celsius for up to 1 year (refer to the label on the box for the exact expiration date).
• Notes:This kit is intended for research use only. It should not be used for human or animal clinical diagnostics or treatment.
