Product details:
Human Profilin 1 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Profilin 1 protein in Cell Lysate, Cell Lysate, Tissue extracts. Quantitate Human Profilin 1 with 19.517 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.

Profilin 1 also known as Profilin-1 or Profilin is a small actin-binding protein with a molecular weight of approximately 15 kDa. It is expressed across various tissues including muscle brain and epithelial cells. Profilin 1 interacts with monomeric actin (G-actin) to regulate actin polymerization by binding to actin monomers. This protein also interacts with polyphosphoinositides and proline-rich sequences playing a mechanical role in balancing actin filament assembly and disassembly.
Biological function summary
Profilin 1 acts as an important regulator of the cytoskeleton facilitating cellular processes like motility and division. It participates in the formation of actin filaments by delivering actin monomers to barbed ends promoting polymerization. Profilin 1 is part of the complex that controls actin dynamics and this ability to modulate actin structure allows it to influence cell shape and internal movement. The protein's interactions help support the actin cytoskeleton for intracellular trafficking and signal transduction.
Pathways
Profilin 1 has important roles in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and Rho signaling pathways. These pathways are important in cell migration and adhesion. During cellular processes Profilin 1's interactions with actin and polyphosphoinositides link it to other proteins such as Rho GTPases which are associated with cytoskeletal dynamics. Profilin 1 can influence these pathways by modulating actin dynamics and interacting with proteins involved in these signaling cascades.
Disruptions in Profilin 1 function are linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer metastasis. For example aberrant Profilin 1 activity can contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by affecting neuronal structure and transport. Dysregulation of its interaction with actin or polyphosphoinositides might also lead to enhanced cancer cell migration and invasion. It may interact with other proteins implicated in these diseases such as the ALS-related protein TDP-43 or cancer-related kinases making it significant in understanding these conditions.
