Human INHbE (Inhibin Beta E) ELISA (Small Sample Volume)

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 INHbE. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human INHbE. 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 INHbE, 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 INHbE in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Inhibins and activins inhibit and activate, respectively, the secretion of follitropin by the pituitary gland. Inhibins/activins are involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Inhibins appear to oppose the functions of activins , Activin E is a homodimer of INHBE secreted by the liver that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic homeostasis particularly in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Plays a central role in the regulation of adipose tissue lipolysis by preventing the influx of fatty acids from adipose tissue into the liver. Mechanistically, signals via ACVR1C to activate SMAD2/3 signaling, suppressing PPARG target genes in adipose tissue, thereby reducing liver lipid content and improving glycemic control (PubMed:38533769).
