Human REG3alpha (Regenerating Islet Derived Protein 3 Alpha) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human RBP4. Samples (or Standards) and biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human RBP4 are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human RBP4 would combined with the specific antibody. Then Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human RBP4, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human RBP4. You can calculate the concentration of Human RBP4 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve!!Background/Introduction: Retinol binding protein 4(RBP4), previously called retinol binding protein(RBP), is a transporter protein. This protein belongs to the lipocalin family and is the specific carrier for retinol (vitamin A alcohol) in the blood [1]. It delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A, blocks secretion of the binding protein post translationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells.RBP4 seems to be correlated with cardio metabolic markers in inflammatory chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) [2].

Product Notes
The Human REG3alpha reg3a (Catalog #AAA2502929) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2502929 ELISA Kit recognizes Human REG3alpha. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "REG3alpha, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
