Product details:
Human HAI-1 ELISA Kit (ab288176) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human HAI-1 protein in cell culture supernatant, plasma and serum samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human HAI-1 with 0.29pg/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.

HAI-1 known also as Hepatocyte Growth Factor Activator Inhibitor 1 or SPINT1 is a type 1 transmembrane protein with a molecular mass of around 55 kDa. This protein commonly expresses in epithelial cells particularly in tissues like the stomach and liver. It serves as a serine protease inhibitor playing a role in regulating the activity of certain proteases. Mouse HAI protein comparable in function and structure is often used in research as a model for understanding HAI-1 in humans. Researchers frequently use HAI detectors and HAI-1 ELISA methods for precise quantification and analysis.
Biological function summary
HAI-1 performs a regulatory role by inhibiting proteases such as matriptase and hepsin which are critical for many cellular functions. As part of a complex HAI-1 binds to these proteases controlling their activity to prevent excessive proteolysis which can damage tissues. This regulatory function is key in maintaining epithelial integrity and homeostasis impacting processes like cell growth and migration. Anti-HAI studies show that disrupting this balance can lead to a cascade of biological alterations.
Pathways
Several cellular processes heavily depend on the balance maintained by HAI-1 in protease activity. One significant pathway involves the HGF/c-Met signaling cascade which impacts cell motility and proliferation. By inhibiting matriptase HAI-1 indirectly affects this pathway regulating cellular responses. Additionally HAI-1 also relates to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through controlling proteolytic activity which can influence how cells migrate and differentiate in development or healing.
Deregulation of HAI-1 often links to cancer progression specifically in cases like breast or prostate cancer. In these contexts improper regulation of proteases can lead to enhanced tumor invasiveness and metastasis. HAI-1's interaction with the c-Met receptor pathway facilitated by HGFA illustrates its significant role in cancer biology. Disorders of the liver such as fibrosis also reveal connections where HAI-1 modulation of protease activity affects extracellular matrix turnover implicating HAI-1 in the fibrogenic response alongside proteins like matriptase.
