Product details:
Human GSDMD ELISA kit (ab272463) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human GSDMD protein in cell and tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate GSDMD with 0.154 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
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
GSDMD is a part of a family of highly conserved proteins expressed primarily in epithelial tissues. GSDMD is activated by caspases in response to inflammasome activators where it drives pyroptosis during microbial infection and danger signals. Down regulation of GSDMD is found in gastric cancer and mutations in GSDMD have been found in a variety of cancers.

GSDMD also known as gasdermin D is a protein known for its role in pyroptosis a form of programmed cell death. Its molecular weight is approximately 53 kDa. Mechanically GSDMD operates by forming pores in cell membranes. These pores disrupt cellular homeostasis and eventually lead to cell lysis. GSDMD is mainly expressed in immune cells including macrophages and neutrophils. Researchers frequently use GSDMD Western blot and GSDMD ELISA for its detection and quantification in various studies.
Biological function summary
Gasdermin D functions in the execution of immune responses against infections. It acts as an effector molecule that participates directly in pyroptosis by disrupting mitochondrial membranes. GSDMD operates as part of a larger inflammasome complex initiated by inflammatory signals. The inflammasome activates inflammatory caspases that cleave GSDMD enabling its active form to execute pyroptosis. This process releases cytokines like IL-1β enhancing the inflammatory response.
Pathways
GSDMD is important in the pyroptosis pathway initiated by the inflammasome. This process involves Caspase-1 a protease responsible for cleaving pro-inflammatory cytokines and initiating pyroptosis. Another significant pathway includes NLRP3 inflammasome which acts upstream to activate Caspase-1 and subsequently GSDMD establishing the overall inflammatory response in the innate immune system. Through these pathways GSDMD interacts closely with proteins like IL-18 an essential inflammatory mediator.
Gasdermin D has links to inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and sepsis. In rheumatoid arthritis the excessive activation of GSDMD leads to chronic joint inflammation mediated by activated immune cells. In sepsis over-activation of the pyroptosis pathway may cause severe systemic inflammation driven by GSDMD activity exacerbating cytokine release. Connections exist between GSDMD and other proteins such as Caspase-11 which can also initiate GSDMD cleavage independently and has roles in non-canonical inflammasome pathways influencing these conditions.
