Principle of the Assay: PDCN ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-PDCN antibody and an PDCN-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with PDCN-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 PDCN concentration since PDCN from samples and PDCN-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-PDCN antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by PDCN from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind PDCN-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The PDCN concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in the regulation of glomerular permeability. Mutations in this gene cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
Uniprot Description
NPHS2: Plays a role in the regulation of glomerular permeability, acting probably as a linker between the plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton. Defects in NPHS2 are the cause of nephrotic syndrome type 2 (NPHS2). It is a renal disorder characterized clinically by childhood onset of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. The disorder is resistant to steroid treatment and progresses to end-stage renal failure in the first or second decades. Some patients show later onset of the disorder. Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Mouse PDCN nphs2 (Catalog #AAA722280) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA722280 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse PDCN. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Podocin, 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
