Pig MYO(Myoglobin) ELISA Kit

Monomeric heme protein which primary function is to store oxygen and facilitate its diffusion within muscle tissues. Reversibly binds oxygen through a pentacoordinated heme iron and enables its timely and efficient release as needed during periods of heightened demand. Depending on the oxidative conditions of tissues and cells, and in addition to its ability to bind oxygen, it also has a nitrite reductase activity whereby it regulates the production of bioactive nitric oxide. Under stress conditions, like hypoxia and anoxia, it also protects cells against reactive oxygen species thanks to its pseudoperoxidase activity Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 1.13 ng/mL. Standard: 200 ng/mL. Detection range: 3.13-200 ng/mL. Sample type: Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Cardiovascular biology,. 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 Pig MYO. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Pig MYO. 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 Pig MYO, 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 Pig MYO in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
