Mouse LNGFR (Low Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor) 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 LNGFR. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse LNGFR. 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 LNGFR, 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 LNGFR 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: 0.057 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Sample Type: sSerum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Low affinity neurotrophin receptor which can bind to mature NGF, BDNF, NTF3, and NTF4 (PubMed:11559852, PubMed:1317267). Forms a heterodimeric receptor with SORCS2 that binds the precursor forms of NGF (proNGF), BDNF (proBDNF) and NTF3 (proNT3) with high affinity, and has much lower affinity for mature NGF and BDNF (PubMed:22155786, PubMed:24908487, PubMed:27457814). Plays an important role in differentiation and survival of specific neuronal populations during development (PubMed:11559852, PubMed:1317267). Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells (PubMed:11559852, PubMed:1317267, PubMed:24908487). The heterodimeric receptor formed with SORCS2 plays a role in proBDNF-dependent synaptic plasticity, in hippocampal long term depression (LTD) and long term potentiation (LTP) (PubMed:27457814). Plays a role in the inactivation of RHOA (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of the translocation of GLUT4 to the cell surface in adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells in response to insulin, probably by regulating RAB31 activity, and thereby contributes to the regulation of insulin-dependent glucose uptake (PubMed:22460790). Necessary for the circadian oscillation of the clock genes BMAL1, PER1, PER2 and NR1D1 in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain and in liver and of the genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver (PubMed:23785138) , (Microbial infection) Cell surface receptor for rabies virus glycoprotein Gs , Does not bind NGF, BDNF, NTF3, and NTF4 [The Uniprot Consortium]
