Human Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase makorin-3 ELISA Kit | MKRN3 elisa kit
Human Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase makorin-3 (MKRN3) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MKRN3 in Human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates. An antibody specific for MKRN3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any MKRN3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MKRN3 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MKRN3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING (C3HC4) zinc finger motif and several C3H zinc finger motifs. This gene is intronless and imprinted, with expression only from the paternal allele. Disruption of the imprinting at this locus may contribute to Prader-Willi syndrome. An antisense RNA of unknown function has been found overlapping this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
