DSP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein desmoplakin, which is encoded by the DSP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and epidermis development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 2871 residues, a mass of 331.8 kDa, and is a member of the Plakin or cytolinker protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in oral mucosa. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The DSP gene has been associated with the disease, Keratoderma. Other alias names for this target include DCWHKTA and DP.
The detection range for different DSP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 62.5 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
