Human Podocin ELISA Kit quantifies Podocin in serum and plasma.
The Human Podocin solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the binding of the second (detector) antibody to the target on a different epitope from the capture antibody. An antibody conjugated with enzyme binds the formed sandwich. After incubation and washing steps to rid the microplate of unbound substances.
Rigorous validation:
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.

The pathological conditions of SRN1 correlate well with mutations at the NPHS2 gene, where expression of a protein known as Podocin occurs. Abnormal or inefficient signaling through Podocin protein-dependent networks contributes to the development of podocyte dysfunction and proteinuria. The human NPHS2 gene maps to chromosome 1q25-q31 and encodes a 383 amino acid protein. Podocin is an integral membrane protein that appears to fold into a hairpin-like structure with intracellular amino- and carboxy-termini. Transmembrane and cytoplasmic portions of Podocin share homology to the corresponding regions of the stomatin family proteins. Expression of high-order oligomers of Podocin in glomerular podocytes may reflect a scaffolding function that influences proper function of the glomerular filtration barrier, which is necessary for renal stability.
