Human Connexin 26 (CX26) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Human Connexin 26 (CX26) ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of the gap junction protein encoded by the GJB2 gene in research samples. Connexin 26 forms intercellular channels essential for cochlear potassium recycling, and GJB2 mutations are the leading cause of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss. This reagent is valuable for auditory research, dermatology studies of palmoplantar keratoderma, and gap junction communication investigations. The microplate format supports research use only applications in laboratories studying hereditary deafness, skin barrier disorders, and connexin-related channelopathies. Reagents should be refrigerated upon arrival and protected from light to preserve antibody binding activity.
