Human BCAM (Basal Cell Adhesion Molecule) Microsample 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 BCAM. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human BCAM. 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 BCAM, 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 BCAM in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 1.57-100 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 0.6 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 100 ng/mL. Sample Type: sSerum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as both a receptor and an adhesion molecule playing a crucial role in cell adhesion, motility, migration and invasion (PubMed:9616226, PubMed:31413112). Extracellular domain enables binding to extracellular matrix proteins, such as laminin, integrin and other ligands while its intracellular domain interacts with cytoskeletal proteins like hemoglobin, facilitating cell signal transduction (PubMed:17158232). Serves as a receptor for laminin alpha-5/LAMA5 to promote cell adhesion (PubMed:15975931). Mechanistically, JAK2 induces BCAM phosphorylation and activates its adhesion to laminin by stimulating a Rap1/AKT signaling pathway in the absence of EPOR (PubMed:23160466) [The Uniprot Consortium]
