Rat FABP3 (Fatty Acid Binding Protein 3, Muscle And Heart) 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 FABP3. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat FABP3. 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 FABP3, 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 FABP3 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: FABPs are thought to play a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters [The Uniprot Consortium]
