INTENDED USE This APOA4 ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Monkey APOA4. This ELISA kit for research use only!
PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY APOA4 ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for APOA4. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and APOA4 if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of APOA4 present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for APOA4 are added to each well to “sandwich” the APOA4 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 APOA4 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 APOA4 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Apoliprotein (apo) A-IV gene contains 3 exons separated by two introns. A sequence polymorphism has been identified in the 3'UTR of the third exon. The primary translation product is a 396-residue preprotein which after proteolytic processing is secreted its primary site of synthesis, the intestine, in association with chylomicron particles. Although its precise function is not known, apo A-IV is a potent activator of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in vitro. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
APOA4: May have a role in chylomicrons and VLDL secretion and catabolism. Required for efficient activation of lipoprotein lipase by ApoC-II; potent activator of LCAT. Apoa-IV is a major component of HDL and chylomicrons. Synthesized primarily in the intestine and secreted in plasma. Belongs to the apolipoprotein A1/A4/E family.

Product Notes
The Monkey APOA4 apoa4 (Catalog #AAA742697) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA742697 ELISA Kit recognizes Monkey APOA4. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Apolipoprotein A4, 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
