Human Heat Shock Protein Beta 8 (HSPb8) ELISA Kit

The Human Heat Shock Protein Beta 8 (HSPb8) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is built around a human-specific capture antibody pair that quantitatively detects HSPB8, also called Hsp22, a small heat shock protein central to chaperone-assisted autophagy, protein aggregate turnover, and motor neuron biology. Researchers apply the assay to studies of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2L, distal hereditary motor neuropathy, and cardiac or skeletal muscle stress responses, where HSPB8 expression and phosphorylation serve as biomarkers of proteostatic load. Reagents are supplied for a single microplate run; reconstituted standards remain stable at 4 degrees C during active use, and longer-term storage requires freezing at -20 degrees C with aliquoting to limit freeze-thaw damage. The kit is intended for research use only.
