Product name:Human Deoxypyridinoline crosslinks,DPD ELISA Kit
Description:
Deoxypyridinoline (Dpd) occurs mainly in Type I collagen of bone. After the formation of the Type I collagen matrix, the action of lysyl oxidase on two hydroxylysine and a lysine residue result in the formation of a Dpd cross link between two triple helical strands of collagen.
The Dpd test can be used as a tool to assess bone resorption rates in healthy individuals and in patients with enhanced risk of developing metabolic bone disease.Dpd can be used to monitor antiresorptive therapies in postmenopausal women and in individuals diagnosed with osteoporosis.
