Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PRSS12 in samples. An antibody specific for PRSS12 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPRSS12 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PRSS12 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 PRSS12 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Serine proteases (or serine endopeptidases) are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins, in which serine serves as the nucleophilic amino acid at the (enzyme's) active site. They are found ubiquitously in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Serine proteases fall into two broad categories based on their structure: chymotrypsin-like (trypsin-like) or subtilisin-like. In humans, they are responsible for co-ordinating various physiological functions, including digestion, immune response, blood coagulation and reproduction.
PRSS12 is a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. Plays a role in neuronal plasticity and the proteolytic action may subserve structural reorganizations associated with learning and memory operations.
