Human PRA1 family protein 3 (ARL6IP5) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: ARL6IP5 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-ARL6IP5 antibody and an ARL6IP5-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with ARL6IP5-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the ARL6IP5 concentration since ARL6IP5 from samples and ARL6IP5-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-ARL6IP5 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by ARL6IP5 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind ARL6IP5-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The ARL6IP5 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Expression of this gene is affected by vitamin A. The encoded protein of this gene may be associated with the cytoskeleton. A similar protein in rats may play a role in the regulation of cell differentiation. The rat protein binds and inhibits the cell membrane glutamate transporter EAAC1. The expression of the rat gene is upregulated by retinoic acid, which results in a specific reduction in EAAC1-mediated glutamate transport. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
ARL6IP5: Regulates intracellular concentrations of taurine and glutamate. Negatively modulates SLC1A1/EAAC1 glutamate transport activity by decreasing its affinity for glutamate. May be involved in membrane traffic. Belongs to the PRA1 family.
