Rat SNAP25 (Synaptosomal Associated Protein 25kDa) 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 SNAP25. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat SNAP25. 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 SNAP25, 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 SNAP25 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: t-SNARE involved in the molecular regulation of neurotransmitter release (PubMed:8103915, PubMed:8243676). May play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. Associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion. Regulates plasma membrane recycling through its interaction with CENPF. Modulates the gating characteristics of the delayed rectifier voltage-dependent potassium channel KCNB1 in pancreatic beta cells (PubMed:12403834) [The Uniprot Consortium]
