Human Steryl-Sulfatase (STS) ELISA Kit | STS elisa kit
Human Steryl-Sulfatase (STS) ELISA Kit
* 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: STS catalyzes the conversion of sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens during pregnancy. The encoded protein is found in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it acts as a homodimer. The deduced 583-residue protein has a molecular mass of 63 kD and contains a 21- or 23-residue signal peptide, 4 possible N-linked glycosylation sites, and 2 potential membrane-spanning domains. Expression in hamster kidney cells (BHK-21) showed localization predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum, with smaller fractions found in the Golgi, at the cell surface, and in endosomes and lysosomes. The major transcription start site was at position -221 with respect to the AUG translation initiation codon, and the amino acids were renumbered to make the initiating methionine +1.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. It belongs to the sulfatase family and hydrolyzes several 3-beta-hydroxysteroid sulfates, which serve as metabolic precursors for estrogens, androgens, and cholesterol. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). Alternatively spliced transcript variants resulting from the use of different promoters have been described for this gene (PMID:17601726). [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
Uniprot Description
STS: Conversion of sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens during pregnancy. Defects in STS are the cause of ichthyosis X-linked (IXL). Ichthyosis X-linked is a keratinization disorder manifesting with mild erythroderma and generalized exfoliation of the skin within a few weeks after birth. Affected boys later develop large, polygonal, dark brown scales, especially on the neck, extremities, trunk, and buttocks. Belongs to the sulfatase family.

Product Notes
The Human STS sts (Catalog #AAA9714062) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9714062 ELISA Kit recognizes Human STS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Steryl-Sulfatase (STS), 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
