Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PTPN6 in samples. An antibody specific for PTPN6 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPTPN6 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PTPN6 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 PTPN6 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. N-terminal part of this PTP contains two tandem Src homolog (SH2) domains, which act as protein phospho-tyrosine binding domains, and mediate the interaction of this PTP with its substrates. This PTP is expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells, and functions as an important regulator of multiple signaling pathways in hematopoietic cells. This PTP has been shown to interact with, and dephosphorylate a wide spectrum of phospho-proteins involved in hematopoietic cell signaling. Multiple alternatively spliced variants of this gene, which encode distinct isoforms, have been reported.
