The CNF ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of CNF in various samples. CNF is another term for the NPHS1 gene, which encodes the protein, NPHS1 adhesion molecule, nephrin in humans. It has been reported that CNF plays a role in cell adhesion and skeletal muscle tissue development, among other functions. Structurally, the NPHS1 protein is 1241 amino acid residues in length and 134.7 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in podocytes of kidney glomeruli. This protein is known to be phosphorylated and glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include NPHN and nephrin.
