Human 5HTR6 (5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 6) ELISA (Small Sample Volume)

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human 5HTR6. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human 5HTR6. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Human 5HTR6, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Human 5HTR6 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone and a mitogen (PubMed:35714614, PubMed:36989299, PubMed:37327704, PubMed:8522988). Also has a high affinity for tricyclic psychotropic drugs (By similarity). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (PubMed:35714614). HTR6 is coupled to G(s) G alpha proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity (PubMed:35714614, PubMed:37327704). Controls pyramidal neurons migration during corticogenesis, through the regulation of CDK5 activity (By similarity). Is an activator of mTOR signaling (PubMed:23027611) [The Uniprot Consortium]
