Mouse Cartilage intermediate layer protein 1 (CILP) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: CII ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing an anti-CII antibody and an CII-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CII-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 CII concentration since CII from samples and CII-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CII antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CII from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CII-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CII concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Major alterations in the composition of the cartilage extracellular matrix occur in joint disease, such as osteoarthrosis. This gene encodes the cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP), which increases in early osteoarthrosis cartilage. The encoded protein was thought to encode a protein precursor for two different proteins; an N-terminal CILP and a C-terminal homolog of NTPPHase, however, later studies identified no nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase (NPP) activity. The full-length and the N-terminal domain of this protein was shown to function as an IGF-1 antagonist. An allelic variant of this gene has been associated with lumbar disc disease.

Uniprot Description
CILP: Probably plays a role in cartilage scaffolding. May act by antagonizing TGF-beta1 (TGFB1) and IGF1 functions. Has the ability to suppress IGF1-induced proliferation and sulfated proteoglycan synthesis, and inhibits ligand-induced IGF1R autophosphorylation. May inhibit TGFB1-mediated induction of cartilage matrix genes via its interaction with TGFB1. Overexpression may lead to impair chondrocyte growth and matrix repair and indirectly promote inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) supersaturation in aging and osteoarthritis cartilage. Defects in CILP are a cause of susceptibility to intervertebral disk disease (IDD). A common musculo- skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. Susceptibility to intervertebral disk disease, is conferred by variant p.Ile395Thr (PubMed:15864306).
