Mouse Desmin (Des) ELISA Kit

Developed by Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA Kit is intended for the precise measurement of Desmin levels in mouse samples. The assay is reactive with mouse specimens and validated for use with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. It uses a colorimetric detection method and is specific for natural and recombinant mouse Desmin.

Desmin is a class-III intermediate filament protein that plays a key role in maintaining the structural integrity and function of muscle cells. Abnormalities in Desmin expression have been linked to muscle-related disorders, including myopathies and cardiomyopathies. By quantifying Desmin levels, the kit supports research into muscle biology and the pathophysiology of these conditions. The associated UniProt entry is P31001.

According to the manufacturer, the kit offers a detection range of 0.156-10ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.089ng/mL. It is intended for research use only.
