Typical Testing Data/Standard Curve (for reference only)
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat ABCA 1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and bound by the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Rat ABCA 1 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Rat ABCA 1, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Rat ABCA 1. You can calculate the concentration of Rat ABCA 1 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. With cholesterol as its substrate, this protein functions as a cholesteral efflux pump in the cellular lipid removal pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Tangier's disease and familial high-density lipoprotein deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
ABCA1: an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that regulates cholesterol homeostasis and insulin secretion in beta-cells, and protects against cardiovascular disease. Inactivation of ABCA1 in beta-cells markedly impairs glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice. Rosiglitazone, an activator of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma, upregulates ABCA1 in beta-cells. ABCA1 expression in beta-cells is required for the beneficial effects of rosiglitazone on glucose tolerance. Mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to HDL apolipoproteins, modulating HDL levels and atherogenesis. Induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and repressed by ZNF202. Phosphorylation on Ser-2054 regulates phospholipid efflux. Unsaturated fatty acids destabilize ABCA1 by activating a PKC-delta pathway that phosphorylates ABCA1 serines. Defects in ABCA1 are a cause of high density lipoprotein deficiencies.

Product Notes
The Rat ABCA 1 abca1 (Catalog #AAA2512328) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2512328 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat ABCA 1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ABCA1, 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
