Principle of the Assay: alphaGAL ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-alphaGAL antibody and an alphaGAL-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with alphaGAL-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 alphaGAL concentration since alphaGAL from samples and alphaGAL-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-alphaGAL antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by alphaGAL from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind alphaGAL-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The alphaGAL concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.

Uniprot Description
GLA: Defects in GLA are the cause of Fabry disease (FD). FD is a rare X-linked sphingolipidosis disease where glycolipid accumulates in many tissues. The disease consists of an inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism. FD patients show systemic accumulation of globotriaoslyceramide (Gb3) and related glycosphingolipids in the plasma and cellular lysosomes throughout the body. Clinical recognition in males results from characteristic skin lesions (angiokeratomas) over the lower trunk. Patients may show ocular deposits, febrile episodes, and burning pain in the extremities. Death results from renal failure, cardiac or cerebral complications of hypertension or other vascular disease. Heterozygous females may exhibit the disorder in an attenuated form, they are more likely to show corneal opacities. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 27 family.

Product Notes
The Sheep alphaGAL gla (Catalog #AAA741983) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA741983 ELISA Kit recognizes Sheep alphaGAL. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "alpha-Galactosidase, 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
