Product details:
Human Neuropilin-1 ELISA Kit (ab227901) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Neuropilin-1 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, milk, serum, tissue culture media, tissue extracts, urine, and cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Neuropilin-1 with 7 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® kits.

Neuropilin-1 also known as NRP1 is a transmembrane protein with a significant role in the nervous and vascular systems. It has a molecular mass of approximately 130 kDa. Neuropilin-1 expression occurs broadly in tissues including neurons endothelial cells and tumor cells. Its structure includes a large extracellular domain that binds various ligands mediating several cellular functions. Neuropilin-1 is sometimes targeted in experiments using methods like neuropilin-1 ELISA and PE immunofluorescence to study its distribution and function in different tissues.
Biological function summary
Neuropilin-1 serves as a co-receptor for both the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Semaphorin family proteins. It plays an important role in processes such as angiogenesis axonal guidance and the immune system. Neuropilin-1 does not function alone; it forms complexes with neuropilin-2 and other receptors like Plexin and VEGFR enhancing signal transduction pathways for angiogenesis and neuronal development. This involvement allows cells to respond appropriately to their environment especially during organismal development and repair processes.
Pathways
Neuropilin-1 facilitates interactions within the VEGF and Semaphorin pathways. In the VEGF pathway Neuropilin-1 enhances binding and signaling efficiency with VEGF closely working alongside VEGFR to promote endothelial cell survival migration and new blood vessel formation. In the Semaphorin pathway Neuropilin-1 interacts with Plexins mediating neuronal pathfinding and axonal growth. These interactions highlight Neuropilin-1's adaptive capabilities in various physiological processes critical for system development.
Neuropilin-1 is linked to pathological conditions like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Neuropilin-1 overexpression is frequently observed in tumors driving cancer progression through enhanced angiogenesis and tissue invasion closely interacting with proteins like VEGF-A. In cardiovascular disease Neuropilin-1 contributes to abnormal blood vessel formation and stability. By studying Neuropilin-1 and other biomarkers like CD304 FITC researchers aim to develop therapeutic strategies targeting its role in these diseases.
