ALK-1 ELISA Kit

This ALK-1 ELISA Kit, Human is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human ALK-1 protein in Serum . It contains recombinant Human ALK-1, and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. This ELISA kit is complete and ready-to-use.Activin A receptor, type II-like 1 (ACVRL1), also known as ALK-1 (activin receptor-like kinase 1), is an endothelial-specific type I receptor of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta) receptor family of ligands. On ligand binding, a heteromeric receptor complex forms consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. ACVRL1 protein is expressed in certain blood vessels of kidney, spleen, heart and intestine, serving as an important role during vascular development. Mutations in ACVRL1 gene are associated with hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2, also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome 2 and vascular disease.
