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, available in 10-pack (10 x 96-well plates)
-Also available in a fully validated 384-well format.

Stanniocalcin 2 (STC-2) is a glycoprotein hormone known for regulating calcium and phosphate homeostasis. It has other names like STC-1-related protein and STC2. The protein has a mass of approximately 33 kDa. STC-2 expresses in various tissues with high levels in the liver kidney and thyroid gland. Its expression suggests an important role in maintaining mineral balance in these tissues.
Biological function summary
STC-2 influences metabolic and inflammatory processes by modulating cellular responses to calcium and phosphate. It operates partly by binding to receptors on cell surfaces impacting cell proliferation and survival. While not part of a known complex STC-2 interacts with signaling molecules involved in bone metabolism and endocrine function serving as a modulator of mineralized tissue homeostasis.
Pathways
In mineral homeostasis STC-2 interacts within pathways involving calcium and phosphate regulation. Its interactions include overlap with the PTH (parathyroid hormone) and vitamin D pathways each critical for calcium and bone metabolism. STC-2 shows connections with proteins like FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23) that also participate in these regulatory networks impacting how cells manage mineral concentrations.
Research indicates STC-2's involvement in conditions such as chronic kidney disease and some cancers. Its expression levels correlate with abnormal mineral metabolism in kidney disease where it may interact with proteins like Klotho a known regulator of phosphate transport. In oncology overexpression of STC-2 associates with cancer progression potentially linking to altered signaling pathways in tumor cells.
