It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\ntechnology. Quantitate Human BACE2 with 11.2 pg\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\ntechnology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\nplates. 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\u003cbr\u003e\nprotocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\ntechnology 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\u003cbr\u003e\nmicroplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\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\nBACE2 also known as beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 2 is an aspartic acid protease. It has a molecular mass of roughly 70 kDa. This enzyme cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the beta-secretase site. BACE2 is mainly expressed in the brain but also found in other tissues like the pancreas. It shares similarity with BACE1 another protease involved in APP processing.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nBACE2 acts on substrates to regulate amyloidogenic processing of APP. It belongs to the peptidase A1 Family. Unlike its counterpart BACE1 which promotes amyloid-beta peptide production BACE2 has been suggested to reduce amyloid-beta formation by different substrate cleavage. Though not part of a stable complex BACE2 influences pathways related to protein processing.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nOne should note that BACE2 is involved in the amyloidogenic pathway. This pathway processes APP and affects amyloid-beta levels important in neurological conditions. BACE2 acts with proteins like APP and might modulate the effects seen due to BACE1 activity. Despite overlapping functions BACE2 and BACE1 have distinct roles in this pathway impacting amyloid levels differently.\u003cbr\u003e\nPeople look at BACE2 because of its connection to Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. BACE2 might act as a protective factor against Alzheimer's by limiting amyloid-beta accumulation. Down syndrome characterized by trisomy 21 involves heightened BACE2 expression which may modify neurodevelopment. In Alzheimer's research BACE1 has been the focus due to its role in disease progression but BACE2's contrasting effects offer a potential therapeutic angle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855619018921,"sku":"ab289899","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab289899","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
