Product details:
Human S100A12/CGRP ELISA Kit ab282299 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human S100A12/CGRP in cell culture media, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 1.89 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Human S100A12/CGRP SimpleStep ELISA
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.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

S100A12, also known as CCRP and calgranulin C, is encoded by the
S100A12
gene and a member of the S100 family. Found secreted by neutrophils, monocytes, and keratinocytes in which the protein plays significant roles as antiparasitic, anti-infectious, and antibacterial. Moreover, oligomerization and target interactions by S100A12 is regulated by both zinc and calcium ions resulting in cell signaling and changes in cellular microenvironment.

The S100A12 protein also known as Calgranulin C or CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide) has a molecular mass of approximately 10.4 kDa. This protein shows expression primarily in neutrophils but is also present in other types of cells such as epithelial cells and certain cell lines. S100A12 belongs to the S100 protein family which is part of the EF-hand calcium-binding proteins known for playing roles in cell regulation. The protein binds calcium ions which influence its structural conformation.
Biological function summary
S100A12 is important in the inflammatory response and immune system regulation. It acts as a pro-inflammatory mediator attracting leukocytes to sites of inflammation. Furthermore it can bind to receptors on cell surfaces like RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products) which induces signaling cascades that amplify immune responses. S100A12 does not function alone but often forms homodimers or heterodimers with other S100 proteins enhancing its biological activities.
Pathways
S100A12 participates in pathways like the inflammatory response pathway and the RAGE signaling pathway. By interacting with RAGE and possibly other receptors it impacts cellular responses associated with stress injury and microbial infection. This interaction connects S100A12 to other proteins in the same pathways such as NF-kB an important transcription factor involved in inflammation and immune responses.
S100A12 has connections with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Elevated levels of S100A12 often correlate with disease activity and severity suggesting its potential as a biomarker. In rheumatoid arthritis it contributes to the inflammatory environment while in inflammatory bowel disease it associates not only with inflammation but also with proteins like IL-6 and TNF-alpha which are significant cytokines in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
