Human CHOP SimpleStep ELISA
kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of DDIT3 protein in Cell Lysate. Quantitate Human CHOP / DDIT3 with 9.88 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
Previously called Human DDIT3 ELISA Kit. The name of this product has been changed, there have been no other changes to the product

DDIT3 also known as CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein) is a transcription factor commonly expressed in cells under stress conditions such as endoplasmic reticulum stress. It has a molecular weight of approximately 29 kDa. As part of the system that manages cell stress responses DDIT3 expression can occur in various tissues but it is particularly notable in the context of cellular stress regulation. Researchers often use DDIT3 immunohistochemistry to study its presence and expression pattern in different tissues.
Biological function summary
DDIT3 plays a significant role in mediating cellular stress responses and promoting apoptosis when adaptive pathways fail. DDIT3 is not typically part of a multi-subunit complex but it acts in concert with other stress-related proteins to modulate gene expression. By inducing apoptosis DDIT3 helps remove severely damaged cells maintaining overall tissue health. However excessive DDIT3 activity under prolonged stress can lead to cell loss and tissue damage.
Pathways
DDIT3 is involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways. It interacts with proteins such as ATF4 and PERK which are part of the mechanism that governs these pathways. DDIT3 induction contributes to the UPR pathway balancing the cell's fate between repair and apoptosis. This balance is important for cell survival under stress and avoids detrimental cellular damage.
DDIT3 has a strong connection with diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. In diabetes DDIT3 overactivation can result in pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis worsening the disease's progression. Furthermore its involvement in neurodegenerative diseases includes its association with the accumulation of misfolded proteins exacerbating cellular stress conditions. DDIT3's interaction with proteins such as BCL2 further influences disease pathways by enhancing apoptotic signals.
