Human beta adducin (ADD2) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: ADD2 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-ADD2 antibody and an ADD2-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with ADD2-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 ADD2 concentration since ADD2 from samples and ADD2-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-ADD2 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by ADD2 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind ADD2-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The ADD2 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Adducins are heteromeric proteins composed of different subunits referred to as adducin alpha, beta and gamma. The three subunits are encoded by distinct genes and belong to a family of membrane skeletal proteins involved in the assembly of spectrin-actin network in erythrocytes and at sites of cell-cell contact in epithelial tissues. While adducins alpha and gamma are ubiquitously expressed, the expression of adducin beta is restricted to brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin, originally purified from human erythrocytes, was found to be a heterodimer of adducins alpha and beta. Polymorphisms resulting in amino acid substitutions in these two subunits have been associated with the regulation of blood pressure in an animal model of hypertension. Heterodimers consisting of alpha and gamma subunits have also been described. Structurally, each subunit is comprised of two distinct domains. The amino-terminal region is protease resistant and globular in shape, while the carboxy-terminal region is protease sensitive. The latter contains multiple phosphorylation sites for protein kinase C, the binding site for calmodulin, and is required for association with spectrin and actin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
Uniprot Description
ADD2: a cytoskeletal protein that promotes the assembly of the spectrin-actin network. Adducin is a heterodimeric protein that consists of related subunits. Alpha- and beta-adducin include a protease-resistant N-terminal region and a protease-sensitive, hydrophilic C-terminal region. Adducin binds with high affinity to Ca(2+)/calmodulin and is a substrate for protein kinases A and C. Beta-adducin is restricted to brain and hematopoietic tissues. Three alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described.
