Human Serine--pyruvate aminotransferase (AGXT) ELISA Kit

Serine--pyruvate aminotransferase is an enzyme expressed only in the liver and the protein is localized mostly in the peroxisomes, where it is involved in glyoxylate detoxification. Mutations in this gene, some of which alter subcellular targeting, have been associated with type I primary hyperoxaluria.The human peroxisomal AGT showed about 78% amino acid sequence identity with rat mitochondrial AGT. The putative pyridoxal phosphate-binding lysine residue at position 209 is conserved. A comparison of the 5-prime sequences indicated that the N-terminal 22 amino acids of the rat translation product are absent from the human protein. The loss of this mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) signal during evolution may partly explain the species differences in intracellular localization of AGT.

Human Serine--pyruvate aminotransferase (AGXT) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human AGXT. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human AGXT and analogues was observed.

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