Principle of the Assay: AREG ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing an anti-AREG antibody and an AREG-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with AREG-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 AREG concentration since AREG from samples and AREG-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-AREG antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by AREG from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind AREG-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The AREG concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the epidermal growth factor family. It is an autocrine growth factor as well as a mitogen for astrocytes, Schwann cells and fibroblasts. It is related to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha). The protein interacts with the EGF/TGF-alpha receptor to promote the growth of normal epithelial cells, and it inhibits the growth of certain aggressive carcinoma cell lines. It also functions in mammary gland, oocyte and bone tissue development. This gene is associated with a psoriasis-like skin phenotype, and is also associated with other pathological disorders, including various types of cancers and inflammatory conditions.

Product Notes
The Porcine AREG areg (Catalog #AAA743031) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA743031 ELISA Kit recognizes Porcine AREG. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Amphiregulin, 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
