Description
This Human Sphingosine Kinase 1 ELISA Kit is intended for quantitative detection of human SPHK1 in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.
This human SPHK1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for SPHK1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards (Expression system for standard: NSO, Immunogen sequence: M1-L384) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for SPHK1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human SPHK1 amount of sample captured in plate.
The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from mouse, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Sphingosine kinase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SPHK1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine-1- phosphate (S1P), a lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular functions. Intracellularly, S1P regulates proliferation and survival, and extracellularly, it is a ligand for cell surface G protein-coupled receptors. This protein, and its product S1P, play a key role in TNF-alpha signaling and the NF-kappa-B activation pathway important in inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and immune processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
