Product Summary for Human COMP Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human COMP immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human COMP in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human COMP and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human COMP showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring COMP.

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human COMP were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent&nbsp;to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: COMP/Thrombospondin-5

COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein), also known as Thrombospondin-5, is a multidomain calcium binding protein that associates with other extracellular matrix molecules. COMP associates into disulfide-linked homopentamers with a central hub and peripheral globular domains connected by flexible strands. An axial pore is formed by the coiled coil assembly and binds vitamin D3 which is involved in bone and cartilage metabolism. An RGD sequence in the third TSP type-3 repeat mediates chondrocyte attachment via Integrins a5b1 or aVb3. COMP is upregulated in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, hepatocellular carcinomas, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic carcinomas. Several mutations in COMP are associated with skeletal dysplasias.
