Description:
The CICP Kit provides a quantitative method for the determination of collagen production. Collagen type-I is indicative for the collagen production in vivo. As the primary organic constituent of bone, type-I collagen levels have been linked to bone growth and formation. Elevated levels of CICP have been shown in diseases associated with high levels of bone turnover including Paget’s disease, hyperthyroidism, primary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophia. Frequently, the marker protein CICP has been used in growth deficient children and children with bone diseases. In addition, when metastases of cancer occur to sites in bone and/or liver, a greater proportion of individuals show elevated CICP levels in comparison to patients with other or without metastases.
