Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Rat Heart- and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 1 (HAND1) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Heart- and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 1 is protein belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors. This gene product is one of two closely related family members, the HAND proteins, which are asymmetrically expressed in the developing ventricular chambers and play an essential role in cardiac morphogenesis. Working in a complementary fashion, they function in the formation of the right ventricle and aortic arch arteries, implicating them as mediators of congenital heart disease. In addition, it has been suggested that this transcription factor may be required for early trophoblast differentiation.Plays an essential role in early trophoblast differentiation and in cardiac morphogenesis. In the adult, could be required for ongoing expression of cardiac-specific genes.
