Glutamine ELISA Kit

Glutamine (abbreviated as Gln or Q) is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. It is not recognized as an essential amino acid but may become conditionally essential in certain situations, including intensive athletic training or certain gastrointestinal disorders. Its side-chain is an amide formed by replacing the side-chain hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group making it the amide of glutamic acid. Its codons are CAA and CAG. In human blood, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid, with a concentration of about 500-900 μmol/L.

Aviva Systems Biology Glutamine ELISA Kit (OKEH02613) is based on a competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter well-plate in this kit has been pre-coated with an anti-Glutamine antibody. Sample or standards are added to the wells along with a fixed quantity of biotinylated Glutamine and incubated. The Glutamine found in the sample or standards competes with the biotinylated Glutamine for limited binding sites on the immobilized anti-Glutamine antibody. Excess unbound biotinylated Glutamine and sample or standard Glutamine is washed from the plate. Avidin-HRP conjugate is added, incubated and washed. An enzymatic reaction is then produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by the immobilized HRP to generate a blue color product that changes yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is measured by reading the absorbance at 450 nm which is quantitatively proportional to the amount of biotinylated Glutamine captured in the well and inversely proportional to the amount of Glutamine which was contained in the sample or standard.
