Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TNNT1 in samples. An antibody specific for TNNT1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTNNT1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TNNT1 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 TNNT1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:TNNT1 is a regulatory complex located on the thin filament of the sarcomere. This complex regulates striated muscle contraction in response to fluctuations in intracellular calcium concentration. This complex is composed of three subunits: troponin C, which binds calcium, troponin T, which binds tropomyosin, and troponin I, which is an inhibitory subunit. This protein is the slow skeletal troponin T subunit. Mutations in this gene cause nemaline myopathy type 5, also known as Amish nemaline myopathy, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and rod-shaped, or nemaline, inclusions in skeletal muscle fibers which affects infants, resulting in death due to respiratory insufficiency, usually in the second year. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
