Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human Cys-C. Samples (or Standards) and biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human Cys-C are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human Cys-C would combined with the specific antibody. Then Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human Cys-C, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human Cys-C. You can calculate the concentration of Human Cys-C in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve!!Background/Introduction: Cystatin C is a non-glycosylated cysteine protease inhibitor with a molecular weight of 13 kDa. It is produced at a constant rate by nucleated cell and freely filtered by the renal glomerulus, and serum cystatin C is an established, novel marker of renal function. Cystatin C is a more specific marker of glomerular filtration rate than creatinine, because levels are independent of age, sex, muscle mass and diet [1]. In addition, high cystatin C is associated with elevated risk of death from myocardial infarction, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Higher levels of cystatin C and the presence of certain isoforms have also been related to neurological and cerebral disorders such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Cystatin isoforms can be detected both in serum and cerebrospinal fluid and more than a dozen have been reported so far.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the dickkopf family. The secreted protein contains two cysteine rich regions and is involved in embryonic development through its interactions with the Wnt signaling pathway. It can act as either an agonist or antagonist of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, depending on the cellular context and the presence of the co-factor kremen 2. Activity of this protein is also modulated by binding to the Wnt co-receptor LDL-receptor related protein 6 (LRP6). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
DKK2: Antagonizes canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting LRP5/6 interaction with Wnt and by forming a ternary complex with the transmembrane protein KREMEN that promotes internalization of LRP5/6. DKKs play an important role in vertebrate development, where they locally inhibit Wnt regulated processes such as antero- posterior axial patterning, limb development, somitogenesis and eye formation. In the adult, Dkks are implicated in bone formation and bone disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease. Interacts with LRP5 and LRP6. Expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and lung. Belongs to the dickkopf family.

Product Notes
The Human DKK2 dkk2 (Catalog #AAA2505377) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2505377 ELISA Kit recognizes Human DKK2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "DKK2, 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
