Human NOTCH2NL (Notch2 N-Terminal Like Protein) 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 NOTCH2NL. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human NOTCH2NL. 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 NOTCH2NL, 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 NOTCH2NL in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 0.32-20 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 0.115 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 20 ng/mL. Sample Type: sTissue homogenates, cell lysates and other biological fluids.. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Human-specific protein that promotes neural progenitor proliferation and evolutionary expansion of the brain neocortex by regulating the Notch signaling pathway (PubMed:29561261, PubMed:29856954, PubMed:29856955). Able to promote neural progenitor self-renewal, possibly by down-regulating neuronal differentiation genes, thereby delaying the differentiation of neuronal progenitors and leading to an overall final increase in neuronal production (PubMed:29856954). Acts by enhancing the Notch signaling pathway via two different mechanisms that probably work in parallel to reach the same effect (PubMed:29856954). Enhances Notch signaling pathway in a non-cell-autonomous manner via direct interaction with NOTCH2 (PubMed:29856954). Also promotes Notch signaling pathway in a cell-autonomous manner through inhibition of cis DLL1-NOTCH2 interactions, which promotes neuronal differentiation (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
