Human Matrilin-2 (MATN2) ELISA Kit

Matrilin-2 is a member of the von Willebrand factor A domain containing protein family. This family of proteins is thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues.The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.MATN2 contains 2 VWFA-like domains, 10 EGF-type modules, and an oligomerization module. RT-PCR demonstrated wide expression of MATN2 in human cell lines of fibroblastic or epithelial origin. Two mRNA transcripts were detected which differ from each other in a short region that is unique to matrilin-2; 19 triplets are included or spliced out of the mature mRNA as a result of alternative 3-prime splice site selection.

Human Matrilin-2 (MATN2) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human MATN2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human MATN2 and analogues was observed.

This Human Matrilin-2 (MATN2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MATN2 in samples. An antibody specific for MATN2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMATN2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MATN2 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 MATN2 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.
