Description
Description: This Human Syntaxin-2 (STX2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate STX2 in samples. An antibody specific for STX2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any STX2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for STX2 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 STX2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Background: Syntaxins are a family of membrane integrated Q-SNARE proteins participating in exocytosis.Syntaxins possess a single C-terminal transmembrane domain, a SNARE domain (known as H3), and an N-terminal regulatory domain (Habc). Syntaxin-2 is a protein belongs to the syntaxin/epimorphin family of proteins. The syntaxins are a large protein family implicated in the targeting and fusion of intracellular transport vesicles. The product of this gene regulates epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and epithelial cell morphogenesis and activation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified
