Human TSPAN1 (Tetraspanin 1) 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 TSPAN1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human TSPAN1. 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 TSPAN1, 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 TSPAN1 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: 0.053 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Sample Type: stissue homogenates, cell lysates and other biological fluids. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Structural component of specialized membrane microdomains known as tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TERMs), which act as platforms for receptor clustering and signaling. Participates thereby in diverse biological functions such as cell signal transduction, adhesion, migration and protein trafficking (PubMed:30066932, PubMed:30291375). Regulates neuronal differentiation in response to NGF by facilitating NGF-mediated activation of NTRK1/TRKA receptor tyrosine kinase and subsequent downstream signaling pathways (By similarity). Plays a role in the inhibition of TNFalpha-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, inhibits the NF-kappa-B signaling pathway by blocking phosphorylation of CHUK (PubMed:30291375). Also promotes the stability of the thiamine transporter 1/SLC19A2 in intestinal epithelial cells leading to an increase of thiamine uptake process (PubMed:21836059) [The Uniprot Consortium]
