Rat GZMB (Granzyme B) 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 Rat GZMB. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat GZMB. 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 GZMB, 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 GZMB in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 31.25-2000 pg/mL. Sensitivity: 12.1 pg/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 2000 pg/mL. Sample Type: sSerum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Abundant protease in the cytosolic granules of cytotoxic T-cells and NK-cells which activates caspase-independent pyroptosis when delivered into the target cell through the immunological synapse (By similarity). It cleaves after Asp (PubMed:9765264). Once delivered into the target cell, acts by catalyzing cleavage of gasdermin-E (GSDME), releasing the pore-forming moiety of GSDME, thereby triggering pyroptosis and target cell death (By similarity). Seems to be linked to an activation cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) responsible for apoptosis execution (By similarity). Cleaves caspase-3 and -9 (CASP3 and CASP9, respectively) to give rise to active enzymes mediating apoptosis (PubMed:9765264). Cleaves and activates CASP7 in response to bacterial infection, promoting plasma membrane repair (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
