Mouse MYO5A (Myosin VA) 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 MYO5A. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse MYO5A. 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 MYO5A, 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 MYO5A in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Can hydrolyze ATP in the presence of actin, which is essential for its function as a motor protein (By similarity). Involved in melanosome transport (PubMed:1996138). Also mediates the transport of vesicles to the plasma membrane (PubMed:22908308). May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
