Product details:
Human CFHR5 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CFHR5 protein in Serum, EDTA Plasma, Cit Plasma, Hep Plasma with 20.18 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.

CFHR5 also known as complement factor H-related protein 5 belongs to the complement system and affects immune response. CFHR5 has an approximate mass of 65 kDa. You can find it in plasma and tissues such as the liver and kidney. It plays a role in regulating the alternative complement pathway by interacting with various complement factors inhibiting excessive immune reactions.
Biological function summary
CFHR5 regulates the complement system to prevent damage to host tissues. It does not commonly form complexes but interacts directly with other proteins in the complement system such as complement factor H. The balance maintained by CFHR5 is necessary to control inflammation and assist in removing pathogens without harming body's own cells.
Pathways
The alternative complement pathway involves CFHR5 as a regulatory component. It ensures proper complement activation and prevents unregulated immune responses. CFHR5 engages with proteins such as complement factor H and C3b during pathway modulation. Changes in CFHR5 can impact the balance of immune activation and clearance of cellular debris within this pathway.
Mutations or malfunction of CFHR5 associate with certain kidney disorders such as CFHR5 nephropathy and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). These conditions often link with dysregulation of the complement system. The relationship between CFHR5 and complement factor H is important in maintaining kidney function and avoiding disease development.
