OCLN ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein occludin, which is encoded by the OCLN gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to play a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 522 residues, a mass of 59.1 kDa, and is a member of the ELL/occludin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane. As many as 7 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and phosphorylated. The OCLN gene has been associated with the disease, Pseudo-TORCH syndrome. Other alias names for this target include phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 115.
There are OCLN ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 5 ng/L and as high as 150 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
