Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COMP gene. The sequences of rat and bovine COMP indicate that it is a member of the thrombospondin gene family. By Southern blot analysis of a somatic cell hybrid DNA panel and by isotopic in situ hybridization, human COMP gene was mapped to 19p13.1, and the murine COMP gene was mapped to the central region of mouse chromosome 8 by use of an interspecific backcross mapping panel. COMP is a marker of cartilage turnover.

Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 10000pg/ml, 5000pg/ml, 2500pg/ml, 1250pg/ml, 625pg/ml, 312pg/ml, 156pg/ml human COMP standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. It is recommended that each human COMP standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
