Human Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) ELISA Kit

Monoamine oxidase B, is a protein belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. It is an enzyme located in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and plays an important role in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. This protein preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenylethylamine.Edmondson et al. described structural features of the human enzyme: it has a hydrophobic bipartite elongated cavity that (for the "open" conformation) occupies a combined volume close to 700 Å4. hMAO-A has a single cavity that exhibits a rounder shape and is larger in volume than the "substrate cavity" of hMAO-B.

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

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