Human NMT1 (Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1) 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 NMT1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human NMT1. 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 NMT1, 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 NMT1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 0.16-10 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 0.057 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Sample Type: sSerum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins (PubMed:22865860, PubMed:25255805, PubMed:32686708, PubMed:34999170, PubMed:9353336, PubMed:9506952). Also able to mediate N-terminal lysine myristoylation of proteins: catalyzes myristoylation of ARF6 on both 'Gly-2' and 'Lys-3' (PubMed:32103017, PubMed:32111831). Lysine myristoylation is required to maintain ARF6 on membranes during the GTPase cycle (PubMed:32103017) [The Uniprot Consortium]
