Product details:
The Human IGFBP-1 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213789) is designed for the quantitative detection of Human IGFBP-1 in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA) and urine.
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for IGFBP-1 has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards (Expression system for standard: NSO; Immunogen sequence: A26-N259) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for IGFBP-1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human IGFBP-1 amount of sample captured in plate. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human IGFBP-1, consisting of 234 amino acids with the molecular mass of 25 kDa.
IGFBP1 is also known as amniotic fluid binding protein (AFBP), placental protein-12, alpha-pregnancy associated endometrial globulin, growth hormone independent binding protein, binding protein-28, binding protein-26, and binding protein-25. The low-molecular weight insulin-like growth-factor binding protein (IGF-BP25) is synthesized by human liver, secretory endometrium and decidua, and is also present in human serum. It binds insulin-like growth factors IGF-I and IGF-II with high affinity, and is proposed to act as a paracrine regulator of cell growth. These IGF-binding proteins are expressed at different concentrations in different tissues and are thought to regulate the activity of IGF I and II. The gene is organized in four exons and spans 5.9 kb. The IBP-1 gene is a single copy gene, located on chromosome 7.
