Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ADAMTSL2 in samples. An antibody specific for ADAMTSL2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyADAMTSL2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ADAMTSL2 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 ADAMTSL2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:ADAMTSL2 encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) and ADAMTS-like protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The protein encoded by this gene lacks the protease domain, and is therefore of a member of the the ADAMTS-like protein subfamily. It is a secreted glycoprotein that binds the cell surface and extracellular matrix; it also interacts with latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with geleophysic dysplasia.
