Rat ELA2A (Elastase 2A) 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 Rat ELA2A. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat ELA2A. 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 ELA2A, 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 ELA2A in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Elastase that enhances insulin signaling and might have a physiologic role in cellular glucose metabolism. Circulates in plasma and reduces platelet hyperactivation, triggers both insulin secretion and degradation, and increases insulin sensitivity [The Uniprot Consortium]
