Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MCCC1 in samples. An antibody specific for MCCC1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMCCC1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MCCC1 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 MCCC1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:The MCCD1 gene encodes a deduced 119-amino acid protein containing a putative coiled-coil domain at its C terminus and a predicted mitochondrial localization signal at its N terminus. RT-PCR analysis detected expression of MCCD1 in all human tissues tested, at highest levels in adult and fetal kidney, liver and lung, and fetal brain, and at lower levels in fetal spleen.
The human and pig proteins share 65.9% overall sequence identity but their C-terminal domains are highly conserved, showing 92% identity over 53 residues. No orthologs were identified in any other species, suggesting that the gene arose relatively recently in evolution. Transient expression in mammalian cells of MCCD1 fused at its C terminus to either EGFP or the T7-epitope tag showed that the protein is localized to mitochondria.
