Human Ensconsin (MAP7) ELISA Kit

Ensconsin is a microtubule-associated protein that is predominantly expressed in cells of epithelial origin. Microtubule-associated proteins are thought to be involved in microtubule dynamics, which is essential for cell polarization and differentiation. This protein has been shown to be able to stabilize microtubules, and may serve to modulate microtubule functions. Studies of the related mouse protein also suggested an essential role in microtubule function required for spermatogenesis. Expressed in the skin and cells of epithelial origin. Predominantly expressed in the suprabasal layers of the normal epidermis and relatively abundant in squamous cell carcinomas but barely detectable in basal cell carcinomas.

Human Ensconsin (MAP7) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human MAP7. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human MAP7 and analogues was observed.

This Human Ensconsin (MAP7) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MAP7 in samples. An antibody specific for MAP7 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMAP7 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MAP7 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 MAP7 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.
