The Human Caldesmon (CALD1) ELISA Kit is specially designed for the precise measurement of caldesmon levels in human samples, including serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers exceptional sensitivity and accuracy, ensuring trustworthy and consistent results for various research purposes. Caldesmon, encoded by the CALD1 gene, is a critical regulator of smooth muscle contraction and plays a crucial role in cell motility and cytoskeletal organization. Dysregulation of caldesmon has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions.
Therefore, detecting caldesmon levels can provide valuable insights into disease progression and potential therapeutic targets. With the Human Caldesmon (CALD1) ELISA Kit, researchers can effectively quantify caldesmon expression in human samples, paving the way for further understanding of its role in disease pathology and therapeutic interventions.

Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Tissue Homogenate
