Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate WNT11 in samples. An antibody specific for WNT11 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyWNT11 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for WNT11 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of WNT11 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. WNT16 is a member of the WNT gene family. It contains two transcript variants diverging at the 5' termini. These two variants are proposed to be the products of separate promoters and not to be splice variants from a single promoter. They are differentially expressed in normal tissues, one of which (variant 2) is expressed at significant levels only in the pancreas, whereas another one (variant 1) is expressed more ubiquitously with highest levels in adult kidney, placenta, brain, heart, and spleen.
