Product details:
Human Serpin A5 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Serpin A5 protein in human serum, plasma, saliva and cell culture supernatant. Quantitate Human Serpin A5 with 351.07 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Serpin A5 also known as Protein C Inhibitor (PCI) or Mesotrypsin inhibitor is a member of the serine protease inhibitor family with a mass of approximately 47 kDa. It plays a mechanical role as an inhibitor of several proteases such as trypsin tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. This protein is highly expressed in tissues including the liver kidneys and seminal plasma suggesting its involvement in reproductive and hemostatic processes.
Biological function summary
Serpin A5 regulates critical physiological processes through its inhibitory function. It interacts with and inhibits target proteases controlling pathways involved in coagulation and fibrinolysis. Serpin A5 does not form part of larger protein complexes but exerts its function through direct interactions. Its modulatory action impacts processes such as cell migration and tumor invasion highlighting its role in broader cellular environments.
Pathways
Serpin A5 is an important regulator in the coagulation cascade and fibrinolytic pathways. It acts to modulate the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis critical for maintaining hemostasis. This protein is related to other serpins such as Antithrombin III and Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 through its regulatory actions in these pathways. The inhibition of proteases by Serpin A5 ensures proper activation and termination of these biological processes which are essential for vascular integrity.
Serpin A5 is connected to conditions like thrombophilia and prostate cancer. Dysregulation in its expression or function leads to altered coagulation increasing the risk of thrombotic events. In prostate cancer its role is linked through pathways involving the matrix metalloproteinases where Serpin A5 can influence tumor progression and metastasis. Understanding its interactions with proteins in these diseases provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies.
