Rat PCDH1 (Protocadherin 1) ELISA Kit (RTES00693)

Quantitative measurement of Protocadherin 1 levels in rat samples is supported by this colorimetric ELISA from Assay Genie, targeting a calcium-dependent cell adhesion glycoprotein belonging to the δ1-protocadherin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. PCDH1 is widely studied in respiratory and neuroscience research, where altered expression has been linked to airway epithelial remodeling, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and synaptic organization. The kit uses a microplate-based immunoassay workflow with a standard curve, providing a useful tool for investigators profiling cadherin-mediated adhesion in rodent models of asthma, lung injury, or neural development. Each pack supports a defined number of determinations per plate, with reagents supplied ready for laboratory use. Standards and diluted samples are added directly to pre-coated wells, and absorbance is read on a standard microplate reader. The assay is intended for research use only, not for diagnostic or clinical decision-making. Researchers comparing PCDH1 expression across treated versus control cohorts can use this kit alongside housekeeping protein normalization to track relative changes in tissue lysates, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and matched serum samples. Storage of unopened components at refrigerated temperatures is recommended to maintain antibody binding activity and preserve shelf life.
