Human Malectin (MLEC) ELISA Kit

MLEC encodes the carbohydrate-binding protein malectin which is a Type I membrane-anchored endoplasmic reticulum protein. Malectin has an affinity for Glc2Man9GlcNAc2 (G2M9) N-glycans and is involved in regulating glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum. Malectin has also been shown to interact with ribophorin I and may be involved in the directing the degradation of misfolded proteins. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

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

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