Human LRP6 (Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Related Protein 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 LRP6. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human LRP6. 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 LRP6, 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 LRP6 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 0.16-10 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 0.056 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Sample Type: sTissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor-ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalosomes (PubMed:11357136, PubMed:11448771, PubMed:15778503, PubMed:16341017, PubMed:16513652, PubMed:17326769, PubMed:17400545, PubMed:19107203, PubMed:19293931, PubMed:19801552, PubMed:28341812). Cell-surface coreceptor of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which plays a pivotal role in bone formation (PubMed:11357136, PubMed:11448771, PubMed:15778503, PubMed:16341017, PubMed:16513652, PubMed:17326769, PubMed:17400545, PubMed:19107203, PubMed:19293931, PubMed:19801552, PubMed:28341812). The Wnt-induced Fzd/LRP6 coreceptor complex recruits DVL1 polymers to the plasma membrane which, in turn, recruits the AXIN1/GSK3B-complex to the cell surface promoting the formation of signalosomes and inhibiting AXIN1/GSK3-mediated phosphorylation and destruction of beta-catenin (PubMed:16513652).
