Product details:
Mouse ST2 (IL1 RL1) SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of ST2 (IL1 RL1) protein in human serum, EDTA plasma, citrate plasma and cell culture supernatant. Quantitate Mouse ST2 (IL1 RL1) with 11.54 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 (

ST2 also known as IL-1RL1 or IL-1RL1 chimera protein is a member of the IL-1 receptor family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa. This protein exists in different forms including a membrane-bound form and a soluble variant. Researchers typically find ST2 expressed in various tissues including the lungs gut and cardiovascular system. The expression level can vary significantly depending on the physiological or pathological state.
Biological function summary
ST2 interacts with interleukin-33 (IL-33) and functions as its receptor. The binding of IL-33 to ST2 activates immune responses particularly influencing T-helper 2 (Th2) cells. ST2 forms part of a receptor complex including IL-1 receptor accessory protein IL-1RAcP necessary for signal transduction. This interaction leads to the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways facilitating inflammatory responses.
Pathways
IL-33 signals through the ST2 receptor participating actively in the immune signaling pathway. This pathway plays a significant role in modulating inflammatory and immune responses. ST2 association with NF-kB broadly affects inflammatory signaling while its involvement with the MAPK pathway aids in cellular responses to cytokines and stress. The close relationship with the IL-33/ST2 axis highlights its importance in maintaining immune homeostasis and reacting to environmental stressors.
ST2 has significant associations with asthma and cardiovascular diseases. In asthma the IL-33/ST2 axis critically contributes to airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness. Similarly in the context of cardiovascular diseases elevated levels of soluble ST2 are markers of heart failure with the ST2/IL-33 axis contributing to cardiac remodeling. ST2's connection with inflammatory processes implies it also interacts with other cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) exacerbating the disease states through shared pathways.
