Guinea Pig CYTOCHROME P-45017 ALPHA GENE ELISA KIT (CYP17)
Intended Uses: This CYP17 ELISA kit is intended for laboratory research use only. The stop solution changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of CYP17 in the sample, this CYP17 ELISA Kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density versus CYP17 concentration. The concentration of in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
Principle of the Assay: The coated well immunoenzymatic assay for the quantitative measurement of CYP17 utilizes a multiclonal anti-CYP17 antibody and an CYP17-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CYP17-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 CYP17 concentration since CYP17 from samples and CYP17-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CYP17 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CYP17 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CYP17-HRP conjugate. Standards of known CYP17 concentrations are run concurrently with the samples being assayed and a standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (Optical Density) to the concentration of CYP17. The CYP17 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. It has both 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities and is a key enzyme in the steroidogenic pathway that produces progestins, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. Mutations in this gene are associated with isolated steroid-17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency, pseudohermaphroditism, and adrenal hyperplasia.

Uniprot Description
CYP17A1: Conversion of pregnenolone and progesterone to their 17- alpha-hydroxylated products and subsequently to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione. Catalyzes both the 17-alpha-hydroxylation and the 17,20-lyase reaction. Involved in sexual development during fetal life and at puberty. Defects in CYP17A1 are the cause of adrenal hyperplasia type 5 (AH5). AH5 is a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a common recessive disease due to defective synthesis of cortisol. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is characterized by androgen excess leading to ambiguous genitalia in affected females, rapid somatic growth during childhood in both sexes with premature closure of the epiphyses and short adult stature. Four clinical types: salt wasting (SW, the most severe type), simple virilizing (SV, less severely affected patients), with normal aldosterone biosynthesis, non-classic form or late onset (NC or LOAH), and cryptic (asymptomatic). Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
