Human KL-6 (Krebs Von den Lungen-6) 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 KL-6. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human KL-6. 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 KL-6, 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 KL-6 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 31.25-2000 U/mL. Sensitivity: 14.25 U/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 2000 U/mL. Sample Type: sserum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. Can act both as an adhesion and an anti-adhesion protein. May provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack , The beta subunit contains a C-terminal domain which is involved in cell signaling, through phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions. Modulates signaling in ERK, SRC and NF-kappa-B pathways. In activated T-cells, influences directly or indirectly the Ras/MAPK pathway. Promotes tumor progression. Regulates TP53-mediated transcription and determines cell fate in the genotoxic stress response. Binds, together with KLF4, the PE21 promoter element of TP53 and represses TP53 activity [The Uniprot Consortium]
