Mouse 5HTR1A (5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 1A) 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 Mouse 5HTR1A. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse 5HTR1A. 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 Mouse 5HTR1A, 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 Mouse 5HTR1A 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: 0.06 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Sample Type: sTissue homogenates and other biological fluids.. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed:11080193, PubMed:17543467, PubMed:18599790, PubMed:21508226, PubMed:8254366, PubMed:9826725). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances (PubMed:11080193, PubMed:17543467, PubMed:18599790, PubMed:21508226, PubMed:8254366, PubMed:9826725). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (By similarity). HTR1A is coupled to G(i)/G(o) G alpha proteins and mediates inhibitory neurotransmission: signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity and activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system that regulates the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores (By similarity). Beta-arrestin family members regulate signaling by mediating both receptor desensitization and resensitization processes (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
