Mouse NOX4 (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase 4) 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 Mouse NOX4. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse NOX4. 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 Mouse NOX4, 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 Mouse NOX4 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: NADPH oxidase that catalyzes predominantly the reduction of oxygen to H2O2 (By similarity). Can also catalyze to a smaller extent, the reduction of oxygen to superoxide (PubMed:10869423, PubMed:11098048, PubMed:15638999). May function as an oxygen sensor regulating the KCNK3/TASK-1 potassium channel and HIF1A activity (By similarity). May regulate insulin signaling cascade (By similarity). May play a role in apoptosis, bone resorption and lipolysaccharide-mediated activation of NFKB (By similarity). May produce superoxide in the nucleus and play a role in regulating gene expression upon cell stimulation (By similarity). Promotes ferroptosis, reactive oxygen species production and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels by activating NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cytokine release (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
