* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Nephronectin contains 561 amino acids. In situ hybridization detected nephronectin in the developing mouse kidney and in several other tissues and organs. Expression appeared particularly prominent at epithelial-mesenchymal interfaces in tissues undergoing morphogenesis. The deduced 565- and 582-amino acid proteins have calculated molecular masses of 61.9 and 64.0 kD, respectively. Both proteins contain an N-terminal signal sequence, followed by 5 EGF domains, and a C-terminal MAM domain. They also contain an RGD integrin-binding site, a potential glycosylation site, and a potential tyrosine phosphorylation site. EGF repeats 2, 4, and 5 contain Ca(2+)-binding EGF domains. In the longer variant, the 17 additional amino acids are inserted N-terminal to the first EGF domain.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
NPNT: Functional ligand of integrin alpha-8/beta-1 in kidney development. Regulates the expression of GDNF with integrin alpha- 8/beta-1 which is essential for kidney development. May also play a role in the development and function of various tissues, regulating cell adhesion, spreading and survival through the binding of several integrins. Belongs to the nephronectin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q24
Cellular Component: proteinaceous extracellular matrix; smooth muscle contractile fiber; extracellular region; basement membrane
Molecular Function: integrin binding; calcium ion binding
Biological Process: positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation; establishment of protein localization; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; ureteric bud development; ureteric bud branching; cell-matrix adhesion; cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin; positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction

Product Notes
The Human NPNT npnt (Catalog #AAA9715879) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715879 ELISA Kit recognizes Human NPNT. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Nephronectin (NPNT), 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
