CLDN8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein claudin 8, which is encoded by the CLDN8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a tight-junction protein required for paracellular chloride transport in the kidney. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 225 residues, a mass of 24.8 kDa, and is a member of the Claudin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in the epididymis, mainly in the caput segment. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated. Other alias names for this target include HEL-S-79 and epididymis secretory protein Li 79.
Some CLDN8 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.05 ng/mL and as high as 15 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
