Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate CKMT1A in samples. An antibody specific for CKMT1A has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyCKMT1A present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for CKMT1A 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 CKMT1A bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Creatine kinase, mitochondrial 1A also known as CKMT1A is one of two genes which encode the ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase (ubiquitous mtCK or CKMT1).
Mitochondrial creatine (MtCK) kinase is responsible for the transfer of high energy phosphate from mitochondria to the cytosolic carrier, creatine. It belongs to the creatine kinase isoenzyme family. It exists as two isoenzymes, sarcomeric MtCK (CKMT2) and ubiquitous MtCK, encoded by separate genes. Mitochondrial creatine kinase occurs in two different oligomeric forms: dimers and octamers, in contrast to the exclusively dimeric cytosolic creatine kinase isoenzymes. Ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase has 80% homology with the coding exons of sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase.
