Human CPEB1(Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element-binding Protein 1) ELISA Kit

Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation initiation during oocyte maturation, early development and at postsynapse sites of neurons. Binds to the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE), an uridine-rich sequence element (consensus sequence 5'-UUUUUAU-3') within the mRNA 3'-UTR. RNA binding results in a clear conformational change analogous to the Venus fly trap mechanism (PubMed:24990967). In absence of phosphorylation and in association with TACC3 is also involved as a repressor of translation of CPE-containing mRNA, a repression that is relieved by phosphorylation or degradation (By similarity). Involved in the transport of CPE-containing mRNA to dendrites, those mRNAs may be transported to dendrites in a translationally dormant form and translationally activated at synapses (By similarity). Its interaction with APLP1 promotes local CPE-containing mRNA polyadenylation and translation activation (By similarity). Induces the assembly of stress granules in the absence of stress. Required for cell cycle progression, specifically for prophase entry (PubMed:26398195) Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 6.3 pg/mL. Standard: 1000 pg/mL. Detection range: 15.63-1000 pg/mL. Sample type: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Cell proliferation, Tumor immunity. Test principle: 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 CPEB1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human CPEB1. 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 CPEB1, 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 CPEB1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
