Mouse Heat shock protein beta-1 (Hspb1) ELISA Kit

A sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie designed for the precise detection of mouse heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1) levels in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. HSPB1, also known as HSP27, is a small heat shock protein involved in cellular stress response and protection, implicated in diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.

The kit uses a sandwich ELISA format with colorimetric detection and is reactive with mouse samples. The detection range is 0.312-20ng/mL and the sensitivity is 0.162ng/mL. Acceptable sample types include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, with specificity for natural and recombinant mouse heat shock protein beta-1. The associated UniProt entry is P14602, NCBI Gene ID is 15507, and the protein has a reported molecular weight of 19,380 Da.

Functionally, HSPB1 acts as a molecular chaperone that helps maintain denatured proteins in a folding-competent state and plays a role in stress resistance and actin organization. The kit is for research use only.
