NASH ELISA collagen iv

Diapharma offers an established, well-published Human Collagen IV ELISA for use with serum samples.

Various domains of Collagen IV have been used as biomarkers for basement membrane formation or degradation and an overall indicator of fibrosis.

For liver research, Collagen IV is the first collagen to be synthesized during in vitro liver injury models and has used as a biomarker for disease states like NASH/NAFLD, AH, and hepatitis.

Additionally, serum levels of collagen IV fall in response to drug candidates in clinical research. The Diapharma Collagen IV ELISA kit recognizes the 7S domain and the triple helix domains of Collagen IV.
