Product details:
Canine FSTL1/FRP SimpleStep ELISA
kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Canine FSTL1/FRP protein in canine serum, plasma (heparin), plasma (EDTA), plasma (citrate), and cell culture supernatant. Quantitate Canine FSTL1/FRP with 15.854 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

FSTL1 also known as FRP is a protein that plays an important role in various cellular functions. The protein is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 32 kDa and is expressed in a variety of tissues including heart lung and placenta. FSTL1 contains several domains that facilitate its interaction with other proteins and cellular components. It is located both intracellularly and secreted in the extracellular matrix contributing to its role in cell signaling and structural integrity.
Biological function summary
FSTL1 serves as a modulator in inflammatory and developmental processes. It is a part of a complex that regulates immune responses and cell growth. The protein has been shown to affect the activity of multiple growth factors including Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) revealing its regulatory capacity in tissue development and repair. FSTL1 can influence cell differentiation proliferation and survival highlighting its significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
FSTL1 has important roles in the regulation of the BMP signaling and Wnt pathways. In the BMP pathway FSTL1 interacts with other signaling molecules to modulate pathway intensity and cellular outcomes. The protein links with BMP proteins to influence processes like bone formation and tissue repair. In the Wnt pathway FSTL1 can modulate key interactions that affect cellular proliferation and development. Through these pathways FSTL1 also relates to proteins such as TGF-beta which participate in various cellular processes.
FSTL1 has relevance in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and pulmonary hypertension. The protein shows increased expression in inflammatory environments indicating its involvement in rheumatoid arthritis where it engages with immune response pathways. The connection with pulmonary hypertension also positions FSTL1 as a significant factor in cardiovascular pathologies. In both conditions FSTL1 interacts with cytokines and other immune-related proteins influencing disease progression and response to treatment.
