It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human SEMG2 with 8.4 ng\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep 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:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nSemenogelin II also known as SGII is a protein that plays a significant role in human reproduction. It is a major component of semen and weighs approximately 50 kDa. This protein is primarily expressed in the seminal vesicles. SGII is closely related to Semenogelin I (SGI) and shares a high degree of sequence homology. The presence of these proteins is important to semen coagulation affecting viscosity and ultimately fertility.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSemenogelin II contributes to the formation of the seminal coagulum which provides an essential function in immobilizing sperm temporarily after ejaculation. This protein interacts within a complex network involving prostate-specific antigen (PSA) which partially degrades SGII to liquefy the coagulum allowing sperm motility and facilitating fertilization. The activity of SGII in semen coagulation and subsequent liquefaction demonstrates its impact on reproductive success.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSemenogelin II is integral to the reproductive pathway involving sperm maturation and fertilization. The effort of PSA to degrade SGII and its counterpart Semenogelin I is central to the regulation of semen liquefaction. This interaction is important to the seminal plasma proteolysis pathway. Proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases are also part of this pathway although they have a distinct and less direct relationship with SGII.\u003cbr\u003e\nAbnormalities in the function or expression of Semenogelin II have implications for infertility. Altered SGII levels or dysfunction can impact semen coagulation which may lead to reduced sperm motility and decreased chances of successful fertilization. Additionally SGII is studied for its potential involvement in prostate cancer since its regulation by PSA suggests a connection. Understanding SGII's role in these contexts might provide insights into both reproductive health and prostate disease management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843593261225,"sku":"ab240682","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab240682","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
