Principle of the assay: CUL4A ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-CUL4A antibody and an CUL4A-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CUL4A-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 CUL4A concentration since CUL4A from samples and CUL4A-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CUL4A antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CUL4A from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CUL4A-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CUL4A concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
CUL4A is the ubiquitin ligase component of a multimeric complex involved in the degradation of DNA damage-response proteins (Liu et al., 2009 [PubMed 19481525]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
CUL4A: Core component of multiple cullin-RING-based E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. As a scaffold protein may contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of the complex is dependent on the neddylation of the cullin subunit and is inhibited by the association of the deneddylated cullin subunit with TIP120A/CAND1. The functional specificity of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex depends on the variable substrate recognition component. DCX(DET1-COP1) directs ubiquitination of JUN. DCX(DDB2) directs ubiquitination of XPC. In association with RBX1, DDB1 and DDB2 is required for histone H3 and histone H4 ubiquitination in response to ultraviolet and may be important for subsequent DNA repair. DCX(DTL) plays a role in PCNA-dependent polyubiquitination of CDT1 and MDM2-dependent ubiquitination of TP53 in response to radiation-induced DNA damage and during DNA replication. In association with DDB1 and SKP2 probably is involved in ubiquitination of p27Kip1/p27kip. Is involved in ubiquitination of HOXA9. Component of multiple DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complexes that seem to consist of DDB1, CUL4A or CUL4B, RBX1 and a variable substrate recognition component which seems to belong to a protein family described as DCAF (Ddb1- and Cul4-associated factor) or CDW (CUL4-DDB1-associated WD40-repeat) proteins. Component of the CSA complex (DCX(ERCC8) complex) containing ERCC8, RBX1, DDB1 and CUL4A; the CSA complex interacts with RNA polymerase II; upon UV irradiation it interacts with the COP9 signalosome and preferentially with the hyperphosphorylated form of RNA polymerase II. Component of the DCX(DET1-COP1) complex with the substrate recognition component DET1 and COP1. Component of the DCX(DDB2) complex with the substrate recognition component DDB2. Component of the DCX(DTL) complex with the putative substrate recognition component DTL. Interacts with DDB1, RBX1, RNF7, CTD1, TIP120A/CAND1, SKP2, p27Kip1, MDM2, TP53 and HOXA9. Interacts with DDB2; the interactions with DDB2 and CAND1 are mutually exclusive. Interacts with VPRBP, DTL, DDA1, DCAF6, DCAF4, DCAF16, DCAF17, DET1, WDTC1, DCAF5, DCAF11, WDR24A, RFWD2, PAFAH1B1, ERCC8, GRWD1, FBXW5, RBBP7, GNB2, WSB1, WSB2, NUP43, PWP1, FBXW8, ATG16L1, KATNB1, RBBP4, RBBP5 and DCAF8. May interact with WDR26, WDR51B, SNRNP40, WDR61, WDR76, WDR5. Can self- associate. Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus BPLF1. Belongs to the cullin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human CUL4A cul4a (Catalog #AAA7237843) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7237843 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CUL4A. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cullin 4A (CUL4A), 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
