Mouse Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) ELISA Kit

The protein encoded by TAAR1 is a G-protein coupled receptor activated by trace amines. The encoded protein responds little or not at all to dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine, or histamine, but responds well to beta-phenylethylamine, p-tyramine, octopamine, and tryptamine. While primarily functioning in neurologic systems, there is evidence that this gene is involved in blood cell and immunologic functions as well. TAAR1 is thought to be intronless.

Mouse Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Mouse TAAR1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Mouse TAAR1 and analogues was observed.

This Mouse Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TAAR1 in samples. An antibody specific for TAAR1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTAAR1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TAAR1 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 TAAR1 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.
