Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TINAGL1 in samples. An antibody specific for TINAGL1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTINAGL1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TINAGL1 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 TINAGL1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen-like 1 has been cloned from mouse adrenocortical cells and is known to be closely associated with zonal differentiation of adrenocortical cells. In cell culture systems, TINAGL1 is a matricellular protein that interacts with both structural matrix proteins and cell surface receptors. However, the physiological roles of TINAGL1 and regulation of its expression are still not clearly understood.
In the present study, the expression and localization of TINAGL1 in peri-implantation mouse embryos was examined. During preimplantation, the expression of both Tinagl1 mRNA and TINAGL1 protein was increased just prior to implantation. In blastocysts, TINAGL1 expression was localized to the trophectoderm.
