Human A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12) ELISA Kit

ADAM12 encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) protein family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. This gene has two alternatively spliced transcripts: a shorter secreted form and a longer membrane-bound form. Similarly to myogenin, a marker of early muscle differentiation, mouse meltrin-alpha is expressed in neonatal muscle and bone, and its expression increases dramatically in response to the induction of differentiation. Immunocytochemical localization and functional expression studies suggested that meltrin-alpha may be involved in myotube formation.

Human A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human ADAM12. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human ADAM12 and analogues was observed.

This Human A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ADAM12 in samples. An antibody specific for ADAM12 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyADAM12 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ADAM12 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 ADAM12 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.
