Human LAMA1 SimpleStep ELISA
kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of LAMA1 protein in Cell Lysate, Tissue extracts. Quantitate Human LAMA1 with 5.7 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

LAMA1 also known as laminin subunit alpha-1 is a component of the extracellular matrix with a molecular mass of approximately 400 kDa. It is part of the laminin family a group of glycoproteins that play key roles in maintaining structural integrity and signaling in tissues. LAMA1 is widely expressed in basement membranes of many tissues particularly in the brain kidney and other organs with complex architecture. Researchers often explore its expression patterns using techniques like laminin histology and laminin microscope analysis.
Biological function summary
This protein acts as a structural scaffold and cell adhesion mediator. LAMA1 integrates into the laminin-1 trimer complex composed of alpha beta and gamma chains supporting cellular attachment differentiation and migration. This assembly aids in tissue morphogenesis and repair processes. It creates an important interface between cells and the extracellular matrix influencing cellular behavior and maintaining tissue function.
Pathways
LAMA1 interacts with cellular signaling cascades such as the PI3K/AKT pathway and the TGF-beta pathway. These pathways play significant roles in cellular growth survival and differentiation. LAMA1's interaction with other proteins like integrins and heparan sulfate proteoglycans facilitates its role in these pathways impacting diverse processes like embryonic development and tissue remodeling.
LAMA1 shows a connection to conditions such as Pierson syndrome and certain congenital muscular dystrophies. Mutations in LAMA1 can lead to basement membrane defects contributing to these diseases' pathological features. Additionally interactions with proteins like collagen IV and perlecan are significant as these complexes can further influence disease severity and progression. Understanding LAMA1's role provides insights into potential therapeutic approaches for related disorders.
