The following Claudin 16 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of claudin 16 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CLDN16 gene. 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. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Hypomagnesemia. This protein may also be known as PCLN1, hypomagnesemia 3, with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, paracellin-1, and HOMG3.
The detection range for different claudin 16 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 100 ng/mL.
