Human Testin (TES) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative detection of human Testin (TES) in research samples. The assay shows a detection range of 0.625–40 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.22 ng/mL, with an intra-assay CV of 7.2% and inter-assay CV of 11.6%. It is reactive with human samples and has been validated for use with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Specificity is reported for natural and recombinant human Testin, and recovery is reported as 103% (97–109%) for serum and 105% (99–111%) for plasma.

Testin (synonym TESS; UniProt Q9UGI8) is a scaffold protein implicated in cell adhesion, cell spreading and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, with a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and potential tumour suppressor activity. Reported molecular weights are 46 kDa and 47 kDa, and two isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. The assay is read on a microplate at 450 nm and is for research use only.
