Human 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) ELISA Kit

12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) is an eicosanoid. It is a metabolite of arachidonic acid produced by the action of the enzyme arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase. 12-HETE is a highly selective ligand used to label mu opioid receptors. 12-HETE can activate Cdc42, Rac1 and PI-3K, which then participate as upstream signalling molecules for PAK1 and JNK1 activation. 12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) is a chemotactic stimulus for epidermal cells. 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE), the main eicosanoid in skin, is assumed to have both pathophysiologic effects in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic eczema and a physiologic role in the biology of cutaneous reparative processes. The modulation of epidermal 12-HETE receptors by UV-B may partly explain the therapeutic effects of UV-B, but possibly also contribute to photodamage to skin.

Human 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human 12-HETE. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human 12-HETE and analogues was observed.

This Human 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate 12-HETE in samples. An antibody specific for 12-HETE has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any12-HETE present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for 12-HETE is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of 12-HETE bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
