Human Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B) ELISA Kit

MAP1LC3b is a subunit of neuronal microtubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies on the rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, a process that involves the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic component.The deduced 125-amino acid protein shares 94% identity with rat Map1lc3. Northern blot analysis detected transcripts of 2.5 and 1.0 kb abundantly expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and testis, with weaker expression in all other tissues examined. MAP1LC3B was posttranslationally modified. Unlike MAP1LC3A and MAP1LC3C, however, MAP1LC3B did not undergo C-terminal cleavage and did not require the conserved gly120 for posttranslational modification. The essential site for modification of MAP1LC3B was lys124.

Human Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human MAP1LC3B. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human MAP1LC3B and analogues was observed.

This Human Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MAP1LC3B in samples. An antibody specific for MAP1LC3B has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMAP1LC3B present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MAP1LC3B 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 MAP1LC3B 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.
