Rat NGFIB (Nerve Growth Factor IB) 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 NGFIB. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat NGFIB. 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 NGFIB, 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 NGFIB in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds the NGFI-B response element (NBRE) 5'-AAAGGTCA-3' (PubMed:10331876). Binds 9-cis-retinoic acid outside of its ligand-binding (NR LBD) domain (By similarity). Participates in energy homeostasis by sequestrating the kinase STK11 in the nucleus, thereby attenuating cytoplasmic AMPK activation (By similarity). Regulates the inflammatory response in macrophages by regulating metabolic adaptations during inflammation, including repressing the transcription of genes involved in the citric acid cycle (TCA) (By similarity). Inhibits NF-kappa-B signaling by binding to low-affinity NF-kappa-B binding sites, such as at the IL2 promoter (By similarity). May act concomitantly with NR4A2 in regulating the expression of delayed-early genes during liver regeneration (PubMed:8473329). Plays a role in the vascular response to injury (By similarity) , In the cytosol, upon its detection of both bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and NBRE-containing mitochondrial DNA released by GSDMD pores during pyroptosis, it promotes non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation by stimulating association of NLRP3 and NEK7 [The Uniprot Consortium]
