Principle of the Assay: APC ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for APC. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and APC if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of APC present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for APC are added to each well to “sandwich” the APC immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain APC and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The APC concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that acts as an antagonist of the Wnt signaling pathway. It is also involved in other processes including cell migration and adhesion, transcriptional activation, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene cause familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominant pre-malignant disease that usually progresses to malignancy. Disease-associated mutations tend to be clustered in a small region designated the mutation cluster region (MCR) and result in a truncated protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
APC: a tumor suppressor. Defects in APC are a cause of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Promotes rapid degradation of CTNNB1 and participates in Wnt signaling. Activity is correlated with its phosphorylation state. Two splice-variant isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The Monkey APC apc (Catalog #AAA735265) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA735265 ELISA Kit recognizes Monkey APC. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Activated protein C, 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
