Product details:
Mouse NBL1 ELISA Kit (ab234575) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of NBL1 protein in serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse NBL1 with 21.6 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.

NBL1 also known as DAN domain family member 1 is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 20 kDa. It is found in various tissues but shows higher expression levels in the nervous tissue and skeletal muscle. Mechanically NBL1 acts as a modulator in cell signaling pathways by binding to specific growth factors such as BMPs (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins) inhibiting their functions and affecting cell differentiation and growth.
Biological function summary
NBL1 plays an inhibitory role in bone morphogenesis by interacting with BMPs which are part of the TGF-beta superfamily. NBL1 can form complexes with these growth factors thereby regulating processes related to bone and cartilage development. This protein is essential for maintaining cellular processes involved in tissue homeostasis and suppressing unchecked cellular proliferation.
Pathways
NBL1 involves itself in the BMP signaling pathway where it directly impacts the regulation of bone and cartilage development. It is associated with other proteins like Noggin and Chordin both of which also modulate BMP activity highlighting its importance in balancing cell growth and differentiation signals. The involvement of NBL1 in the TGF-beta/BMP pathway is critical for embryonic development and the regulation of body patterning.
NBL1 has been linked to conditions such as osteoarthritis and certain cancer types. Its inhibitory effect on BMPs associates it with osteoarthritis where altered BMP signaling contributes to cartilage degradation. In cancer where BMP activity can be dysregulated NBL1's role in inhibiting BMP pathways places it in connection to tumor suppressors like SMAD proteins emphasizing its potential relevance in tumorigenesis and metastasis.
