Human crystallin, beta A1 (CRYBA1) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: CRYBA1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-CRYBA1 antibody and an CRYBA1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CRYBA1-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 CRYBA1 concentration since CRYBA1 from samples and CRYBA1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CRYBA1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CRYBA1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CRYBA1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CRYBA1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Beta-crystallins, the most heterogeneous, differ by the presence of the C-terminal extension (present in the basic group, none in the acidic group). Beta-crystallins form aggregates of different sizes and are able to self-associate to form dimers or to form heterodimers with other beta-crystallins. This gene, a beta acidic group member, encodes two proteins (crystallin, beta A3 and crystallin, beta A1) from a single mRNA, the latter protein is 17 aa shorter than crystallin, beta A3 and is generated by use of an alternate translation initiation site. Deletion of exons 3 and 4 causes the autosomal dominant disease 'zonular cataract with sutural opacities'. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Product Notes
The Human CRYBA1 cryba1 (Catalog #AAA7252187) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7252187 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CRYBA1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "crystallin, beta A1 (CRYBA1), 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
