ADAM8, BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Human) (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 8)

A Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAM8 gene. ADAM8 is localized to chromosome 10q26.3. This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain) family. Members of the ADAM family, such as ADAM8, are cell surface proteases involved in remodeling of extracellular matrix, cell migration, and processing of membrane-bound signaling molecules. They are characterized by disintegrin and metalloprotease domains that confer adhesive properties and proteolytic activities, respectively. And the protein encoded by this gene may be involved in cell adhesion duringneurodegeneration. Sample Type: Cell culture supernates and serum. Intended Use: For quantitative detection of human ADAM8 in cell culture supernates and serum. Sensitivity: <10pg/ml, Range: 62.5-4000pg/ml, Specificity: Natural and recombinant human ADAM8, Test Principle: This human ADAM8 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for ADAM8 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for ADAM8 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB are used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human ADAM8 amount of sample captured in plate.
