CLDN16 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein claudin 16, which is encoded by the CLDN16 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to play an important role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 235 residues, a mass of 26.1 kDa, and is a member of the Claudin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane. The CLDN16 gene has been associated with the disease, Hypomagnesemia. Other alias names for this target include PCLN1, hypomagnesemia 3, with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, paracellin-1, and HOMG3.
Some CLDN16 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
