Bovine Caveolin 1 (CAV1) ELISA Kit

Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a 22 kDa integral membrane scaffold protein that defines the structure of caveolae, small flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane involved in lipid trafficking, mechanosensation, and receptor signaling. This bovine-reactive immunoassay from Assay Genie is calibrated for quantitative measurement of CAV1 in cattle-derived research specimens. Investigators studying adipocyte lipid handling, pulmonary vascular remodeling, mammary epithelial differentiation, or muscle membrane biology apply the kit to cell lysates and tissue homogenates as a reporter of caveolae density, since altered caveolin-1 abundance is a marker for membrane microdomain turnover and cellular stress responses. The plate supports 96 assays per run, and the kit is supplied with pre-coated wells, standards, detection reagents, and substrate for research use only in laboratory workflows. Storage at 4 °C maintains reagent stability across the recommended shelf life, and the assay is intended specifically for bovine samples rather than as a general-purpose CAV1 reagent.
