Human ADAM9 (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 9) 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 ADAM9. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human ADAM9. 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 ADAM9, 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 ADAM9 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Metalloprotease that cleaves and releases a number of molecules with important roles in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis, such as TEK, KDR, EPHB4, CD40, VCAM1 and CDH5. May mediate cell-cell, cell-matrix interactions and regulate the motility of cells via interactions with integrins , May act as alpha-secretase for amyloid precursor protein (APP) [The Uniprot Consortium]
