Human NDNF (Neuron Derived Neurotrophic Factor) ELISA Kit

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 NDNF. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human NDNF. 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 NDNF, 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 NDNF in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Secretory protein that plays a role in various cellular processes (PubMed:20969804, PubMed:24706764, PubMed:31883645). Acts as a chemorepellent acting on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) expressing neurons regulating their migration to the hypothalamus (PubMed:31883645). Also promotes neuron migration, growth and survival as well as neurite outgrowth and is involved in the development of the olfactory system (PubMed:20969804, PubMed:31883645). May also act through the regulation of growth factors activity and downstream signaling (PubMed:31883645). Also regulates extracellular matrix assembly and cell adhesiveness (By similarity). Promotes endothelial cell survival, vessel formation and plays an important role in the process of revascularization through NOS3-dependent mechanisms (PubMed:24706764) [The Uniprot Consortium]
