Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SCNN1B in samples. An antibody specific for SCNN1B has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySCNN1B present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SCNN1B 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 SCNN1B bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:The epithelial sodium channel (short: ENaC, also: sodium channel non-neuronal 1 (SCNN1) or amiloride sensitive sodium channel (ASSC)) is a membrane-bound ion-channel that is permeable for Li+-ions, protons and especially Na+-ions. It is a constitutively active ion-channel. It is arguably the most selective ion channel.
Nonvoltage-gated, amiloride-sensitive, sodium channels control fluid and electrolyte transport across epithelia in many organs. These channels are heteromeric complexes consisting of 3 subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. This SCNN1b encodes the beta subunit, and mutations in this gene have been associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1), and Liddle syndrome.
