Principle of the Assay: CDSN ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-CDSN antibody and an CDSN-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CDSN-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the CDSN concentration since CDSN from samples and CDSN-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CDSN antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CDSN from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CDSN-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CDSN concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein found in corneodesmosomes, which localize to human epidermis and other cornified squamous epithelia. During maturation of the cornified layers, the protein undergoes a series of cleavages, which are thought to be required for desquamation. The gene is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
CDSN: Important for the epidermal barrier integrity. Defects in CDSN are the cause of hypotrichosis type 2 (HYPT2). A condition characterized by the presence of less than the normal amount of hair. Affected individuals have normal hair in early childhood but experience progressive hair loss limited to the scalp beginning in the middle of the first decade and almost complete baldness by the third decade. Body hair, beard, eyebrows, axillary hair, teeth, and nails develop normally. Defects in CDSN are a cause of peeling skin syndrome (PSS); also known as peeling skin syndrome or deciduous skin or keratolysis exfoliativa congenita. A genodermatosis characterized by generalized, continuous shedding of the outer layers of the epidermis. Two main PSS subtypes have been suggested. Patients with non-inflammatory PSS (type A) manifest white scaling, with painless and easy removal of the skin, irritation when in contact with water, dust and sand, and no history of erythema, pruritis or atopy. Inflammatory PSS (type B) is associated with generalized erythema, pruritus and atopy. It is an ichthyosiform erythroderma characterized by lifelong patchy peeling of the entire skin with onset at birth or shortly after. Several patients have been reported with high IgE levels. CDNS mutations are responsible for generalized, inflammatory peeling skin syndrome type B (PubMed:20691404).

Product Notes
The Bovine CDSN cdsn (Catalog #AAA740589) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA740589 ELISA Kit recognizes Bovine CDSN. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Corneodesmosin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
