Human NELL2 (NEL Like Protein 2) 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 NELL2. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human NELL2. 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 NELL2, 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 NELL2 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Plays multiple roles in neural tissues, regulates neuronal proliferation, survival, differentiation, polarization, as well as axon guidance and synaptic functions. Plays an important role in axon development during neuronal differentiation through the MAPK intracellular signaling pathway (By similarity). Via binding to its receptor ROBO3, plays a role in axon guidance, functioning as a repulsive axon guidance cue that contributes to commissural axon guidance to the midline (PubMed:32198364). Required for neuron survival through the modulation of MAPK signaling pathways too. Involved in the regulation of hypothalamic GNRH secretion and the control of puberty (By similarity) , Epididymal-secreted protein that signals through a ROS1-pathway to regulate the epididymal initial segment (IS) maturation, sperm maturation and male fertility [The Uniprot Consortium]
