Cadherin-16 ELISA Kit (CDH-16)
INTENDED USE
Human cadherin-16 ELISA kit is a protocol that is designed for measuring in vitro quantitative concentrations of cadherin-16 (CDH-16, KSP-cadherin, kidney-specific cadherin, CDH16) in human serum, cell lysates, cell culture supernatant, plasma and many other biological fluids. This assay has a minimum sensitivity limit of 0.038 ng/ml.
BACKGROUND
Cadherin-16 (CDH16, kidney-specific cadherin, KSP-cadherin or CDH-16) is a calcium-dependent, membrane-associated glycoprotein which is expressed in the kidney and as major role in mediating homotypic cellular recognition. The protein consists of a truncated cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane region and 6 cadherin domains, however, it does lack the tripeptide HAV adhesion recognition sequence and the pro-sequence that is found in majority of cadherins. There have also been alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms that have been identified.
SENSITIVITY
The minimum detection sensitivity level of kidney-specific cadherin (CDH16, cadherin-16, CDH-16, KSP-cadherin) using current CDH-16 ELISA kit was 0.038 ng/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 1.156 – 10 ng/ml.
