Human Kallikrein 8/Neuropsin ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the precise measurement of Kallikrein-8 (also known as neuropsin) levels in human biological samples, including serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. The double-antibody assay has a sensitivity of 9.375 pg/mL and a working range of 15.625–1000 pg/mL, with the kit intended for storage at 2–8°C for 12 months.

Kallikrein-8 is a serine protease involved in physiological processes such as skin barrier function and synaptic plasticity in the brain, and its dysregulation has been linked to Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, and skin cancer. The assay makes use of a biotin-labelled detection antibody and HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) detection, with TMB substrate and absorbance measurement at 450 nm. Validated linearity and recovery data are provided for serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma samples.

The kit is intended for research applications in cell biology, and Assay Genie notes that protocols are specific to each batch or lot, so users should follow the technical manual supplied with their kit.
