Mouse IGFBP7 (Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) 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 IGFBP7. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse IGFBP7. 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 IGFBP7, 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 IGFBP7 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Binds IGF1 and IGF2 with a relatively low affinity. Stimulates prostacyclin (PGI2) production. Stimulates cell adhesion. Acts as a ligand for CD93 to play a role in angiogenesis [The Uniprot Consortium]
