Principle of the Assay: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for PIF/DCD has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any PIF/DCD present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PIF/DCD is added to the wells. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PIF/DCD bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a secreted protein that is subsequently processed into mature peptides of distinct biological activities. The C-terminal peptide is constitutively expressed in sweat and has antibacterial and antifungal activities. The N-terminal peptide, also known as diffusible survival evasion peptide, promotes neural cell survival under conditions of severe oxidative stress. A glycosylated form of the N-terminal peptide may be associated with cachexia (muscle wasting) in cancer patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Uniprot Description

Function: DCD-1 displays antimicrobial activity thereby limiting skin infection by potential pathogens in the first few hours after bacterial colonization. Highly effective against E.coli, E.faecalis, S.aureus and C.albicans. Optimal pH and salt concentration resemble the conditions in sweat. Also exhibits proteolytic activity.1 PublicationManual assertion based on experiment in:Ref.5

Catalytic activity: Preferential cleavage: Arg-|-Xaa, Lys-|-Xaa.

Cofactor: Manganese. Required for survival-promoting peptide.

Product Notes

The Human DCD dcd (Catalog #AAA700974) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA700974 ELISA Kit recognizes Human DCD. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "dermcidin, 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.
