Human Casein Alpha (CSN1) ELISA Kit

Alpha-casein (CSN1) is the dominant phosphoprotein in human breast milk, supplying essential amino acids to infants and binding calcium phosphate micelles for mineral transport. The Assay Genie Human Casein Alpha (CSN1) ELISA Kit provides quantitative measurement of CSN1 across validated sample matrices including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernatants, and breast milk. Researchers in lactation biology, neonatal nutrition, dairy science, and mammary gland physiology use this kit to monitor secretory function, profile milk composition, and characterize mammary epithelial cell models.

Supplied as a complete kit with reagents for 96 individual assays in a microplate layout, the assay uses a colorimetric method readable on standard laboratory plate readers. Reagents are intended for research use only and have been validated for human samples. Cell lysate and supernatant compatibility supports in vitro work with mammary epithelial cultures and recombinant expression systems, while breast milk compatibility enables translational and clinical nutrition studies focused on secretory activation and milk protein dynamics.

Components are shipped refrigerated and should be stored cold to preserve antibody binding activity, with reconstituted standards protected from light. The microplate format supports medium-throughput screening, allowing multiple experimental conditions, time points, or donor samples to be evaluated in parallel within a single run.
