Principle of the Assay: This kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The plate has been pre-coated with Mouse ADAMDEC1 antibody. ADAMDEC1 present in the sample is added and binds to antibodies coated on the wells. And then biotinylated Mouse ADAMDEC1 Antibody is added and binds to ADAMDEC1 in the sample. Then Streptavidin-HRP is added and binds to the Biotinylated ADAMDEC1 antibody. After incubation unbound Streptavidin-HRP is washed away during a washing step. Substrate solution is then added and color develops in proportion to the amount of Mouse ADAMDEC1. The reaction is terminated by addition of acidic stop solution and absorbance is measured at 450 nm.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Function: May play an important role in the control of the immune response and during pregnancy
By similarity.
Cofactor: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit
By similarity.
Subcellular location: Secreted
By similarity.
Tissue specificity: Expressed highly in the small intestine and appendix, moderately in lymph node, mucosal lining of the colon, thymus, spleen and very weakly in the bone marrow. Predominantly expressed in dendritic cells (DC) of the germinal center. Weakly expressed in monocyte and highly expressed in macrophage. Absent in immature DC. Ref.1 Ref.5
Induction: Induced during DC maturation and up-regulated in response to T-cell signals. In macrophage up-regulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Up-regulated by 1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 during differentiation of primary monocyte into macrophage. Ref.1 Ref.5
Sequence similarities: Contains 1 disintegrin domain.Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.
