Human Antigen peptide transporter 2 (TAP2) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: TAP2 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a Polyclonal anti-TAP2 antibody and an TAP2-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with TAP2-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 TAP2 concentration since TAP2 from samples and TAP2-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-TAP2 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by TAP2 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind TAP2-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The TAP2 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. This gene is located 7 kb telomeric to gene family member ABCB2. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in antigen presentation. This protein forms a heterodimer with ABCB2 in order to transport peptides from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in this gene may be associated with ankylosing spondylitis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. Alternative splicing of this gene produces products which differ in peptide selectivity and level of restoration of surface expression of MHC class I molecules. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
Uniprot Description
TAP2: a 'transporter associated with antigen processing' (TAP) protein. Member of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) family of transmembrane transporters. Transports peptides across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane for assembly of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. Two subunits, TAP1 and TAP2, are required for peptide transport. ATP hydrolysis is important for transport activity. Nascent MHC class I molecules associate with TAP via tapasin.

Product Notes
The Human TAP2 tap2 (Catalog #AAA7253328) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7253328 ELISA Kit recognizes Human TAP2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Antigen peptide transporter 2 (TAP2), 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
