Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SELENBP1 in samples. An antibody specific for SELENBP1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySELENBP1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SELENBP1 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 SELENBP1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:protein belongs to the selenium-binding protein family. Selenium is an essential nutrient that exhibits potent anticarcinogenic properties, and deficiency of selenium may cause certain neurologic diseases. It has been proposed that the effects of selenium in preventing cancer and neurologic diseases may be mediated by selenium-binding proteins. The exact function of this gene is not known.
Highly expressed in liver, lung, colon, prostate, kidney and pancreas. In brain, present both in neurons and glia (at protein level). Down-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma, colorectal carcinoma and ovarian cancer. Two-fold up-regulated in brain and blood from schizophrenia patients.
