Product details:
Human gp130 ELISA Kit (ab246548) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of gp130 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human gp130 with 24.8 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.

CD130 also known as gp130 or the IL-6 signal transducer (IL6ST) is a protein weighing around 130 kDa. This receptor is encoded by the IL6ST gene and widely expressed on the surface of cells across multiple tissues. CD130 functions mechanically as a signal transducing receptor facilitating the assembly of receptor complexes necessary for the initiation of signal transduction. It plays a major role in cytokine receptor signaling particularly interacting with interleukin-6 (IL-6) family cytokines.
Biological function summary
CD130 functions as part of the high-affinity receptor complex for certain cytokines. It partners with other receptors such as CD126 to form a complex that initiates signaling pathways after ligand binding contributing to a range of immune responses. Its role is thorough across many cellular processes including differentiation proliferation and apoptosis. In addition to immune signaling CD130 is involved in several growth factor signaling pathways.
Pathways
CD130 serves a significant role in signal transduction particularly in the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. It works in concert with related proteins like JAK1 and STAT3 to transmit signals from extracellular cytokines to the nucleus influencing gene expression. Additionally CD130 can also be found active in the MAPK/ERK pathway which is important for cellular response to growth signals.
CD130 plays a connection especially to inflammatory conditions and certain cancers. Aberrant signaling involving CD130 has been linked to disorders like rheumatoid arthritis where it contributes to the inflammation process. Additionally it relates to multiple myeloma a cancer where abnormal CD130 interactions with proteins like IL-6 may enhance cell survival and proliferation presenting potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
