Human Calcipressin-1 (RCAN1) ELISA Kit

RCAN1 interacts with calcineurin A and inhibits calcineurin-dependent signaling pathways, possibly affecting central nervous system development. This gene is located in the minimal candidate region for the Down syndrome phenotype, and is overexpressed in the brain of Down syndrome fetuses. Chronic overexpression of this gene may lead to neurofibrillary tangles such as those associated with Alzheimer disease. The predicted 171-amino acid protein contains 2 proline-rich regions, a putative DNA-binding domain, and an acidic region. Northern blot analysis revealed that the 2.2-kb DSCR1 transcript is expressed at the highest levels in fetal brain and adult heart and at lower levels in various other tissues. An additional 2-kb mRNA was detected in fetal and adult liver.

Human Calcipressin-1 (RCAN1) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human RCAN1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human RCAN1 and analogues was observed.

This Human Calcipressin-1 (RCAN1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate RCAN1 in samples. An antibody specific for RCAN1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyRCAN1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for RCAN1 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 RCAN1 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.
