Human Reticulon-4 (RTN4) ELISA Kit

Reticulon-4 is a protein belongs to the family of reticulon-encoding genes. Reticulons are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, and are involved in neuroendocrine secretion or in membrane trafficking in neuroendocrine cells. The product of this gene is a potent neurite outgrowth inhibitor which may also help block the regeneration of the central nervous system in higher vertebrates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants derived both from differential splicing and differential promoter usage and encoding different isoforms have been identified. Isoform 1 is specifically expressed in brain and testis and weakly in heart and skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is widely expressed except for the liver. Isoform 3 is expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Isoform 4 is testis-specific.

Human Reticulon-4 (RTN4) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human RTN4. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human RTN4 and analogues was observed.

This Human Reticulon-4 (RTN4) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate RTN4 in samples. An antibody specific for RTN4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyRTN4 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for RTN4 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 RTN4 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.
