Mouse Serine/threonine-protein kinase 11 (STK11) ELISA Kit

LKB1 is a primary upstream kinase of adenine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a necessary element in cell metabolism that is required for maintaining energy homeostasis. It is now clear that LKB1 exerts its growth suppressing effects by activating a group of other ~14 kinases, comprising AMPK and AMPK-related kinases. Activation of AMPK by LKB1 suppresses growth and proliferation when energy and nutrient levels are scarce. Activation of AMPK-related kinases by LKB1 plays vital roles maintaining cell polarity thereby inhibiting inappropriate expansion of tumour cells. A picture from current research is emerging that loss of LKB1 leads to disorganization of cell polarity and facilitates tumour growth under energetically unfavorable conditions.

Mouse Serine/threonine-protein kinase 11 (STK11) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Mouse STK11. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Mouse STK11 and analogues was observed.

This Mouse Serine/threonine-protein kinase 11 (STK11) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate STK11 in samples. An antibody specific for STK11 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySTK11 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for STK11 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 STK11 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.
