Principle of the Assay: BCAT2 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-BCAT2 antibody and an BCAT2-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with BCAT2-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 BCAT2 concentration since BCAT2 from samples and BCAT2-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-BCAT2 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by BCAT2 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind BCAT2-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The BCAT2 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a branched chain aminotransferase found in mitochondria. The encoded protein forms a dimer that catalyzes the first step in the production of the branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
Uniprot Description
BCAT2: Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. May also function as a transporter of branched chain alpha-keto acids. Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. Homodimer. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human BCAT2 bcat2 (Catalog #AAA7226613) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7226613 ELISA Kit recognizes Human BCAT2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Branched chain amino acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial (BCAT2), 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
