The Human Keratin 40 (KRT40) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the measurement of KRT40 levels in human samples, including serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit provides accurate and reproducible results, making it a valuable tool for researchers in various fields.Keratin 40 is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and integrity of epithelial cells, particularly in the skin and hair. Abnormalities in KRT40 expression have been associated with skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as certain types of cancer.
By accurately measuring KRT40 levels, researchers can gain insights into the function of this protein in normal and disease states, leading to a better understanding of various skin conditions and potential therapeutic targets. The Human KRT40 ELISA Kit is an essential tool for studying keratin biology and its implications in health and disease.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. Note: To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
