Product details:
Mouse SAP ELISA Kit (ab235639) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of SAP protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse SAP with 11.3 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.

Serum Amyloid P component also known as SAP P-SAP or APCS protein is a pentraxin family member. It has a molecular mass of approximately 25 kDa. SAP expresses mainly in the liver and circulates in blood plasma. The protein consists of five identical subunits which form a homopentameric structure. This structure enables SAP to bind to amyloid fibrils a defining mechanical action of this protein.
Biological function summary
SAP plays a role in the immune system by recognizing damaged cells and pathogens. It acts as an opsonin marking these cellular targets for phagocytosis. As part of a complex SAP stabilizes extracellular matrix and amyloid deposits. It binds specifically to amyloid fibrils found in various tissues potentially facilitating their removal by immune cells. The protein's binding actions are important for its role in maintaining tissue and fluid homeostasis.
Pathways
SAP is actively involved in the innate immune response and amyloidogenic pathways. It interacts with the complement system to enhance the clearance of cell debris and amyloid fibrils. The complement system is an important component of innate immunity where SAP can engage with complement proteins like C1q. This interaction suggests that SAP plays roles in modulating both inflammation and tissue repair processes.
SAP has significant connections. SAP is related to systemic amyloidosis where it binds to amyloid deposits affecting multiple organs. Moreover SAP has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease due to its interaction with beta-amyloid protein plaques. In these disorders the involvement of SAP aids researchers in understanding the pathological mechanisms and could open avenues for targeted therapies aimed at modulating SAP functions.
