Rat ATP5b (ATPase, H+ Transporting, Mitochondrial F1 Complex Beta Polypeptide) 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 Rat ATP5b. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat ATP5b. 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 Rat ATP5b, 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 Rat ATP5b in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Catalytic subunit beta, of the soluble F(1) head domain within the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or complex V) that produces ATP from ADP and phosphate inorganique in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain (PubMed:2531579). With the non-catalytic subunit alpha (ATP5F1A), forms the catalytic core in the F(1) domain. ATP synthase complex consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation (By similarity) , Catalytic subunit beta, of the mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase complex (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) that produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain (PubMed:9736690). ATP synthase complex consist of a soluble F(1) head domain - the catalytic core - and a membrane F(1) domain - the membrane proton channel. These two domains are linked by a central stalk rotating inside the F(1) region and a stationary peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation (By similarity). In vivo, can only synthesize ATP although its ATP hydrolase activity can be activated artificially in vitro (By similarity). With the subunit alpha (ATP5F1A), forms the catalytic core in the F(1) domain (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
