Principle of the Assay: CATSPER1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing an anti-CATSPER1 antibody and an CATSPER1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CATSPER1-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 CATSPER1 concentration since CATSPER1 from samples and CATSPER1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CATSPER1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CATSPER1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CATSPER1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CATSPER1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Calcium ions play a primary role in the regulation of sperm motility. This gene belongs to a family of putative cation channels that are specific to spermatozoa and localize to the flagellum. The protein family features a single repeat with six membrane-spanning segments and a predicted calcium-selective pore region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
CATSPER1: Voltage-gated calcium channel that plays a central role in calcium-dependent physiological responses essential for successful fertilization, such as sperm hyperactivation, acrosome reaction and chemotaxis towards the oocyte. Activated by extracellular progesterone and prostaglandins following the sequence: progesterone > PGF1-alpha = PGE1 > PGA1 > PGE2 >> PGD2. The primary effect of progesterone activation is to shift voltage dependence towards more physiological, negative membrane potentials; it is not mediated by metabotropic receptors and second messengers. Sperm capacitation enhances the effect of progesterone by providing additional negative shift. Also activated by the elevation of intracellular pH. Defects in CATSPER1 are the cause of spermatogenic failure type 7 (SPGF7). An infertility disorder characterized by non-motile sperm or sperm motility below the normal threshold, low sperm count, increased abnormally structured spermatozoa, and reduced semen volume. Belongs to the cation channel sperm-associated (TC 1.A.1.19) family.

Product Notes
The Human CATSPER1 catsper1 (Catalog #AAA7217719) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7217719 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CATSPER1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cation channel sperm associated protein 1 (CATSPER1), 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
