Rabbit Cross Linked C-Telopeptide of Type II Collagen (CTXII) ELISA Kit-Competitive

The C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), also known as carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks, is a component found in fibrillar collagens like collagen type I and type II. It serves as a biomarker in serum to monitor the rate of bone turnover. C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type II collagen (CTX-II) are one of the most frequently assessed markers for osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis. The function of CTXII in a rabbit model is mainly associated with the pathological process of inflammatory arthritis. According to the study, CTXII is one of the important biomarkers for assessing osteocalcin function and cartilage damage. In a rabbit model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), CTXII levels were significantly decreased, suggesting that CTXII may play an important role in the inflammatory response and cartilage damage in arthritis.
