Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MBD1 in samples. An antibody specific for MBD1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMBD1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MBD1 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 MBD1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:DPEP1 (EC 3.4.13.11) is a kidney membrane enzyme that hydrolyzes a variety of dipeptides and is implicated in renal metabolism of glutathione and its conjugates, e.g., leukotriene D4 (Kozak and Tate, 1982).DPEP1 is responsible for hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring of antibiotics, such as penem and carbapenem (Campbell et al., 1984). Earlier, beta-lactamase enzymes were thought to occur only in bacteria, where their probable function was in protecting the organisms against the action of beta-lactam antibiotics. These antibiotics exhibit selective toxicity against bacteria but virtual inertness against many eukaryotic cells (Adachi et al., 1990).
