CLDN9 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein claudin 9, which is encoded by the CLDN9 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 217 residues, a mass of 22.8 kDa, and is a member of the Claudin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in the liver, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and hepatocarcinoma cell lines. The CLDN9 gene has been associated with the disease, Deafness. Other alias names for this target include DFNB116.
The detection range for different CLDN9 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 3.125 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
