Product details:
Human ECM1 ELISA Kit (ab246524) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of ECM1 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human ECM1 with 36 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.

Extracellular matrix protein 1 often called ECM1 is a matrix protein involved in various mechanical functions in the body. This protein weighs approximately 61 kDa and is widely expressed in human tissues including skin bone lung and brain. ECM1 also goes by the name H3300 vector used in some experimental contexts. Being an extracellular matrix (ECM) component ECM1 plays roles in tissue organization influencing matrix proteins' structural integrity.
Biological function summary
ECM1 contributes to cell-matrix interactions and regulates various cell behaviors such as adhesion proliferation and differentiation. It does this by binding to other ECM proteins and is known not to be part of a specific complex. ECM1 facilitates communication between the cellular environment and matrix thereby supporting the architecture and dynamics of tissues. It modulates angiogenesis linking it with processes like wound healing and vascular development.
Pathways
ECM1 functions within the context of key signaling routes such as the PI3K/AKT pathway known for roles in cell growth and survival. ECM1 interacts with other proteins including matrix metalloproteinases contributing to matrix remodeling activities important for cellular migration and invasion. Cumulatively these interactions highlight ECM1’s place in connective tissue organization and regenerative processes.
ECM1’s dysregulation links it with lipoid proteinosis and skin conditions like Atopic Dermatitis. Imbalances in ECM1 expression or function can lead to abnormal ECM assembly influencing these diseases' development. Moreover abnormalities in ECM1 can alter the behavior of related proteins such as collagen impacting skin integrity and permeability. Understanding ECM1’s role could provide insights into therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
