Product details:
Mouse Thrombospondin 1 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Thrombospondin 1 protein in Serum, EDTA Plasma, Cit Plasma, Hep Plasma. Quantitate Mouse Thrombospondin 1 with 0.054 ng/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, available in 10-pack (10 x 96-well plates)
-Also available in a fully validated 384-well format.

Thrombospondin 1 also known as TSP1 is a multi-functional glycoprotein involved in cellular processes like adhesion migration and tumorigenesis. It has a molecular weight of approximately 450 kDa. TSP1 is produced by multiple cell types including endothelial cells and fibroblasts and it is widely expressed in the extracellular matrix of both normal and tumor tissues. As a member of the thrombospondin family it interacts with cell receptors like integrins and CD36 to mediate its diverse functions.
Biological function summary
TSP1 is significant in modulating angiogenesis immune response and apoptosis. It acts as an anti-angiogenic factor by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. TSP1 is a part of a larger complex where it interacts with other matrix proteins and growth factors to fine-tune cellular behavior within tissues. Through its binding domains it inhibits matrix metalloproteinases helping regulate matrix composition and tissue remodeling.
Pathways
TSP1 influences both the TGF-beta and NF-kB signaling pathways. In the TGF-beta pathway TSP1 activates latent TGF-beta contributing to tissue repair and fibrosis processes. It works synergistically with proteins like SMADs in these pathways. In the NF-kB pathway TSP1 modulates immune responses and inflammatory processes. Its interaction with CD36 and integrins in these pathways underlines its versatile role in cellular signaling.
TSP1 has been investigated in cancer progression and cardiovascular diseases. In cancer TSP1's anti-angiogenic properties suppress tumor vascularization which can slow tumor growth. Aberrant TSP1 expression levels have also been linked to atherosclerosis development as it interacts with endothelial cells and inflammatory molecules like TNF-alpha. In both these contexts TSP1 engages with proteins such as integrins and CD36 to exert its influence on disease progression.
