Human Trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5) ELISA Kit

Trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5) is a olfactory receptor specific for trimethylamine, a trace amine. Also activated at lower level by dimethylethylamine. Trimethylamine is a bacterial metabolite found in some animal odors, and to humans it is a repulsive odor associated with bad breath and spoiled food. This receptor is probably mediated by the G (s) -class of G-proteins which activate adenylate cyclase.

Human Trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human TAAR5. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human TAAR5 and analogues was observed.

This Human Trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TAAR5 in samples. An antibody specific for TAAR5 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTAAR5 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TAAR5 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 TAAR5 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.
