IL-34 ELISA Kit (Mouse) (OKBB00623)

Description of target: Interleukin-34, or IL-34 is a protein belonging to a group of cytokines called interleukins. It is mapped to 16q22.1. The discovery of IL-34 protein in the red pulp of the spleen suggests involvement in growth and development of myeloid cells, consistent with its activity on monocytes. IL-34 is a recently discovered cytokine that acts on tissue resident macrophages and Langerhans cells upon binding the receptor for CSF-1, CSF-1R. It also can promote the differentiation and viability of monocytes and macrophages through the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor. In addition, it promotes the development, survival, and function of microglia and Langerhans cells, therefore, this cytokine may predominately function in brain and skin biology.;Species reactivity: Mouse;Application: ELISA;Assay info: <b>Assay Methodology: </b>Quantitative Sandwich Immunoassay;Sensitivity: <= 10 pg/mL
