Used in biomedical research to detect and quantify levels of the 60kD heat shock protein (HSP60), also known as HSPD1, in biological samples such as cell lysates, serum, or tissue extracts. This ELISA kit is particularly valuable in studies related to cellular stress, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and mitochondrial function, as HSP60 is involved in protein folding and is released under stress conditions. It is commonly used in research exploring conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, where HSP60 expression may be altered. The assay enables high-throughput, sensitive, and specific measurement, supporting both basic science and preclinical investigations.
