Human Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 (CDK5) ELISA Kit

CDK5 is a cyclin-dependent kinase family member best known for its roles in neuronal development, tau phosphorylation, and neurodegenerative disease research, where quantitative measurement of the protein in cell and tissue samples is often needed. The Assay Genie CDK5 ELISA Kit addresses that work, providing an immunoassay workflow tailored to human specimens including cell lysates and tissue homogenates, and yielding a quantitative readout readable on a standard microplate absorbance instrument.

Each kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 assays in a single-use microplate format. Reconstituted standards and working solutions should be refrigerated between runs and stored protected from light to preserve activity; aliquoting undiluted samples before freezing helps limit freeze-thaw loss when working with precious lysates.

In the lab, the kit supports tracking CDK5 expression in neuronal cell models, screening pharmacological inhibitors for effects on CDK5 abundance, comparing CDK5 levels between tumor and matched normal tissue homogenates, and validating knockdown or overexpression studies performed by western blot. The quantitative readout accommodates downstream statistical analysis across treatment groups, and the human-specific reactivity addresses translational research on patient-derived samples where rodent cross-reactivity would otherwise complicate interpretation.
