Human Homing Associated Cell Adhesion Molecule (HCAM) ELISA Kit

Also designated CD44, the Homing Associated Cell Adhesion Molecule (HCAM) is a widely expressed transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates lymphocyte homing, hematopoietic stem cell trafficking, and tumor cell migration through interactions with hyaluronic acid and other extracellular matrix ligands. This quantitative immunoassay measures HCAM levels across diverse human-derived sample matrices, supporting investigations that explore immune cell trafficking, cancer metastasis, inflammation, and stem cell biology. Each kit contains reagents configured for 96 assays, suiting medium-throughput biomarker quantification studies, with all components supplied in working volumes appropriate for standard microplate workflows. The plate-based format relies on a colorimetric read principle readable on standard laboratory plate readers, eliminating the need for radioactive substrates or specialized fluorescence detection equipment. Recommended sample types include tissue homogenate preparations and cell lysates derived from human specimens processed through standard extraction procedures. Storage recommendations follow standard immunoassay handling guidelines, with refrigeration required for kit components prior to use to preserve reagent stability. Manufactured by Assay Genie, this kit is intended for research use only and serves as a reproducible analytical tool for quantifying HCAM expression to advance understanding of adhesion molecule biology and disease mechanisms.
