Rat Podocin (PDCN) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Rat Podocin ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of podocin, a key structural protein of the glomerular slit diaphragm encoded by the NPHS2 gene, in rat-derived samples. Podocin anchors the slit diaphragm to the podocyte cytoskeleton and is essential for filtration barrier integrity in the kidney, making this kit a useful tool for preclinical nephrology research.

This 96-assay plate accepts urine, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, giving flexibility across in vivo and in vitro experimental workflows. Researchers studying models of nephrotic syndrome, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, and drug-induced kidney injury can use the kit to track podocin expression or release in rat models.

The assay uses a colorimetric readout compatible with standard laboratory microplate readers, supporting research use only applications in renal physiology, cell biology, and translational biomarker studies. Each kit from Assay Genie is supplied with reagents sufficient to complete the full plate according to the included protocol.
