Mouse HNF1a (Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 Alpha) 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 Mouse HNF1a. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse HNF1a. 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 HNF1a, 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 HNF1a in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Transcriptional activator that regulates the tissue specific expression of multiple genes, especially in pancreatic islet cells and in liver (PubMed:19289501). Binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3' (PubMed:10966642). Activates the transcription of CYP1A2, CYP2E1 and CYP3A11 (PubMed:30555544) [The Uniprot Consortium]
