Human Desmoplakin (DSP) ELISA Kit

Desmoplakin is a critical structural protein (~287 kDa) of desmosomes, anchoring intermediate filaments to cell-cell junctions in cardiac and epithelial tissue.

This quantitative ELISA kit from Assay Genie enables researchers to measure human DSP protein levels in tissue homogenates and cell lysates using a microplate format.

The kit supports investigations into arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, Naxos disease, Carvajal syndrome, and skin fragility disorders linked to desmosomal dysfunction.

Applications include dermatology research on pemphigus and epidermal barrier integrity, cardiovascular studies of intercalated disc assembly, and broader work on epithelial cell-cell adhesion.

Reconstituted standards and detection antibody should be kept refrigerated; the kit is supplied for research use only, with components sized for 96 determinations per microplate.

Investigators examining desmosome-related pathophysiology can use this assay to quantify protein abundance across disease models and tissue samples.
