Human Statherin (STATH) ELISA Kit

Researchers studying salivary biomarkers can use this immunoassay from Assay Genie to quantify human statherin in research specimens. Statherin is a short tyrosine-rich acidic phosphoprotein secreted by parotid and submandibular salivary glands. Within saliva it binds calcium and phosphate ions, helping to maintain ionic balance and preventing spontaneous precipitation of calcium phosphate salts on the tooth surface.

The reagent supports studies in oral biology, salivary gland physiology, dental enamel biomineralization, and conditions involving altered saliva composition. Investigative contexts include Sjögren's syndrome, xerostomia, periodontal disease progression, dental caries susceptibility, and head-and-neck radiotherapy effects on salivary output. Statherin measurement is also relevant to research on acquired enamel pellicle formation, mucosal lubrication, and oral microbiome ecology.

The Human Statherin (STATH) ELISA Kit is supplied in a 96-assay format, with reagents sufficient to evaluate unknown specimens against a standard curve. The procedure accommodates a range of human-derived specimen types relevant to statherin research, including saliva, parotid secretions, and tissue homogenates. Plate setup, incubation timing, and wash steps follow the enclosed protocol, with absorbance read at the wavelength specified in the product insert to calculate statherin concentration in each sample. The kit is intended for research use only.
