Mouse Transmembrane Protease Serine 6 (TMPRSS6) ELISA Kit | TMPRSS6 elisa kit
Mouse Transmembrane Protease Serine 6 (TMPRSS6) 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: TMPRSS6 shares 35% sequence identity with human matriptase/ST14 and spinesin/TMPRSS5, and 84.3% identity with mouse Tmprss6. It contains structural features characteristic of type II serine proteinases, including a short hydrophobic domain, a type II transmembrane sequence, 2 CUB domains, 3 LDL receptor repeats, and a C-terminal catalytic domain with structural hallmarks of serine proteinases. A potential phosphorylation domain is present at the cytoplasmic tail. Sequence alignment of the catalytic domains of TMPRSS6 and other type II serine proteinase family members permitted the identification of several conserved domains. Northern blot analysis of multiple human tissues revealed expression of a 3.5-kb TMPRSS6 transcript exclusively in fetal and adult liver.

Uniprot Description
TMPRSS6: Serine protease which hydrolyzes a range of proteins including type I collagen, fibronectin and fibrinogen. Can also activate urokinase-type plasminogen activator with low efficiency. May play a specialized role in matrix remodeling processes in liver. Plays a role in the regulation of iron homeostasis, a process involving HAMP. Required to sense iron deficiency and suppress activation of the HAMP promoter. Defects in TMPRSS6 are the cause of iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA); also known as hypochromic microcytic anemia with defect in iron metabolism or hereditary iron-handling disorder or pseudo-iron-deficiency anemia. Key features include congenital hypochromic microcytic anemia, very low mean corpuscular erythrocyte volume, low transferrin saturation, abnormal iron absorption characterized by no hematologic improvement following treatment with oral iron, and abnormal iron utilization characterized by a sluggish, incomplete response to parenteral iron. Mutations leading to abrogation of TMPRSS6 activity are associated with IRIDA due to elevated levels of hepcidin, a negative regulator of plasma iron pool (PubMed:20232450). Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Mouse TMPRSS6 tmprss6 (Catalog #AAA9716758) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9716758 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse TMPRSS6. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Transmembrane Protease Serine 6 (TMPRSS6), 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
