Description
c-Met (MET or MNNG HOS Transforming gene) is a proto-oncogene that encodes a protein known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR). MET proto-oncogene has a total length of 125,982 bp, and is located on the 7q31 locus of chromosome 7. MET is a membrane receptor that is essential for embryonic development and wound healing. Activation of MET triggers mitogenesis and morphogenesis. ScienCell's human c-Met ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. Human c-Met-specific polyclonal antibodies are pre-coated onto 8 x 12 divisible strips. The human-specific detection polyclonal antibodies are biotinylated. The test samples and biotinylated detection antibodies are subsequently added to the wells and then washed with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The intensity of yellow is proportional to the amount of human c-Met in the sample that is captured on the strips
