Rat Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM22 homolog (TOMM22) ELISA Kit

TOMM34 is involved in the import of precursor proteins into mitochondria. The encoded protein has a chaperone-like activity, binding the mature portion of unfolded proteins and aiding their import into mitochondria. This protein, which is found in the cytoplasm and sometimes associated with the outer mitochondrial membrane, has a weak ATPase activity and contains 6 TPR repeats. hTom34 is displayed on the surface of mitochondria and is resistant to extraction under alkaline conditions. Antibodies raised against hTom34 specifically inhibit in vitro import of the mitochondrial precursor protein preornithine transcarbamylase into mitochondria isolated from rat liver. Based on trypsin digestion experiments, the receptor has a large (27 kDa) C-terminal domain exposed to the cytosol.

Rat Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM22 homolog (TOMM22) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Rat TOMM22. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Rat TOMM22 and analogues was observed.

This Rat Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM22 homolog (TOMM22) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TOMM22 in samples. An antibody specific for TOMM22 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTOMM22 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TOMM22 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 TOMM22 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.
