Human A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 6 (ADAMTS6) ELISA Kit

The predicted 860-amino acid ADAMTS6 protein has a domain structure characteristic of ADAMTSs. Beginning at the N terminus, it has a preproregion containing a potential furin cleavage site and a putative cysteine-switch, a catalytic domain containing a typical reprolysin-type zinc-binding signature and a 'met turn, ' a disintegrin-like domain, a conserved thrombospondin module, a cysteine-rich domain, a spacer domain, and a second, less conserved thrombospondin module. The mature ADAMTS6 protein has 2 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Northern blot analysis of several human tissues detected an approximately 8.5-kb ADAMTS6 transcript that was expressed at low levels in placenta and at barely detectable levels in a number of other tissues. Adamts6 was not detectably expressed during mouse embryo development.

Human A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 6 (ADAMTS6) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human ADAMTS6. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human ADAMTS6 and analogues was observed.

This Human A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 6 (ADAMTS6) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ADAMTS6 in samples. An antibody specific for ADAMTS6 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyADAMTS6 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ADAMTS6 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 ADAMTS6 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.
