Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of corneodesmosin in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein found in corneodesmosomes, which localize to human epidermis and other cornified squamous epithelia. During maturation of the cornified layers, the protein undergoes a series of cleavages, which are thought to be required for desquamation. The gene is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
