EPAS1 ELISA Kit (Rat)

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha (HIF2a) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha (HIF2a) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1; EPAS-1; HIF2 alpha; HIF-2 alpha; Hif2a; HIF2-alpha; HIF-2-alpha; HLF; hypoxia inducible factor 2, alpha subunit; hypoxia inducible factor 2a; hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha.

Transcription factor involved in the induction of oxygen regulated genes. Heterodimerizes with ARNT; heterodimer binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters (By similarity) . Regulates the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and seems to be implicated in the development of blood vessels and the tubular system of lung. May also play a role in the formation of the endothelium that gives rise to the blood brain barrier. Potent activator of the Tie-2 tyrosine kinase expression. Activation requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBBP and probably EP300. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD (By similarity) .

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha (HIF2a) . Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha (HIF2a) . Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha (HIF2a), biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 10nm. The concentration of Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha (HIF2a) in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
