Product details:
Rat TNFR1 ELISA Kit (ab231925) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of TNFR1 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Rat TNFR1 with 8.1 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.
umor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNF RI) is a transmembrane protein with an extracellular domain that binds to TNF alpha. This extracellular domain can be proteolytically cleaved to make soluble TNF RI. The standard protein in this kit is soluble TNF RI and the capture and detector antibodies were raised against this region of TNF RI.

Soluble TNF Receptor I also known as sTNFR1 or sTNFR55 functions as a decoy receptor for tumor necrosis factor (TNF). It binds to members of the TNF ligand family particularly TNF-alpha preventing them from interacting with cell-bound receptors. This receptor has a molecular weight of approximately 30 kDa. You will find sTNFR1 expressed in various tissues including lung liver and kidney. sTNFR1 circulates in blood where it plays a role in modulating immune responses.
Biological function summary
Soluble TNF Receptor I is involved in regulating inflammation. It sequesters TNF to control its bioavailability and impede its pro-inflammatory effects. sTNFR1 is part of a larger signaling complex which also includes other TNF receptors and ligands within the TNF receptor superfamily. This ability to regulate TNF activity suggests its important role in maintaining immune system balance and preventing excessive inflammation.
Pathways
Soluble TNF Receptor I modulates key inflammatory pathways including the NF-kB and MAPK pathways. These pathways are critical in the cellular response to stress apoptosis and survival. By binding TNF-alpha sTNFR1 interferes with TNF-alpha's interaction with TNFR1 and TNFR2 cell receptors which are vital in signaling through these pathways. TNFR1 particularly mediates a range of cellular responses including apoptosis and survival by influencing downstream kinases and transcription factors.
Soluble TNF Receptor I has associations with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. In conditions like rheumatoid arthritis sTNFR1 counteracts the excessive activity of TNF an important mediator of inflammation. It is also connected to cancer where dysregulated TNF signaling may contribute to tumor progression. Through these conditions sTNFR1 directly interacts with TNF-alpha and TNFRs drawing a connection between TNF signaling and disease pathogenesis.
