Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PROM2 in samples. An antibody specific for PROM2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPROM2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PROM2 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 PROM2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Prominin 2 is a member of the prominin family of pentaspan membrane glycoproteins. The encoded protein localizes to basal epithelial cells and may be involved in the organization of plasma membrane microdomains. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.Colocalizes with PROM1. Associates with membrane in a cholesterol-dependent manner. Localizes to the apical and basolateral membranes of epithelial cells
Present in saliva within small membrane particles (at protein level). Expressed in kidney, prostate, trachea, esophagus, salivary gland, thyroid gland, mammary gland adrenal gland, placenta, stomach, spinal cord and liver. In submucosal tumor, expressed in spindle-shaped or stellate stromal cells. Expressed in prostate cancer cell lines.
