Human Dystroglycan (DAG1) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: DAG1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-DAG1 antibody and an DAG1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with DAG1-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 DAG1 concentration since DAG1 from samples and DAG1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-DAG1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by DAG1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind DAG1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The DAG1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Dystroglycan is a laminin binding component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which provides a linkage between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Dystroglycan 1 is a candidate gene for the site of the mutation in autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies. The dramatic reduction of dystroglycan 1 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to a loss of linkage between the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix, rendering muscle fibers more susceptible to necrosis. Dystroglycan also functions as dual receptor for agrin and laminin-2 in the Schwann cell membrane. The muscle and nonmuscle isoforms of dystroglycan differ by carbohydrate moieties but not protein sequence. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants all encoding the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
Uniprot Description
DAG1: a cytoskeletal protein that functions as a laminin receptor. Provides a linkage between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. May be involved in autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies. Its dramatic reduction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to a loss of linkage between the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix, rendering muscle fibers more susceptible to necrosis. Dystroglycan also functions as dual receptor for agrin and laminin-2 in the Schwann cell membrane. Binds to several types of arenaviruses. Is a target for the entry of Mycobacterium leprae into peripheral nerve Schwann cells. The muscle and nonmuscle isoforms of dystroglycan differ by carbohydrate moieties but not protein sequence.

Product Notes
The Human DAG1 dag1 (Catalog #AAA7209388) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7209388 ELISA Kit recognizes Human DAG1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Dystroglycan (DAG1), 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
