Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ADAM15 in samples. An antibody specific for ADAM15 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyADAM15 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ADAM15 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 ADAM15 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) protein family. ADAM family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins known to be involved in cell adhesion and proteolytic ectodomain processing of cytokines and adhesion molecules. ADAM15 contains multiple functional domains including a zinc-binding metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin-like domain, as well as an EGF-like domain. Through its disintegrin-like domain, this protein specifically interacts with the integrin beta chain, beta 3. It also interacts with Src family protein-tyrosine kinases in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, suggesting that this protein may function in cell-cell adhesion as well as in cellular signaling. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
