Rat Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: NCAM ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-NCAM antibody and an NCAM-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with NCAM-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 NCAM concentration since NCAM from samples and NCAM-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-NCAM antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by NCAM from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind NCAM-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The NCAM concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a cell adhesion protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein is involved in cell-to-cell interactions as well as cell-matrix interactions during development and differentiation. The encoded protein has been shown to be involved in development of the nervous system, and for cells involved in the expansion of T cells and dendritic cells which play an important role in immune surveillance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Product Notes
The Rat NCAM ncam1 (Catalog #AAA752333) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA752333 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat NCAM. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule, 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
