Principle of the Assay: FLOT-1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-FLOT-1 antibody and an FLOT-1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with FLOT-1-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 FLOT-1 concentration since FLOT-1 from samples and FLOT-1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-FLOT-1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by FLOT-1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind FLOT-1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The FLOT-1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Caveolae are small domains on the inner cell membrane involved in vesicular trafficking and signal transduction. FLOT1 encodes a caveolae-associated, integral membrane protein. The function of flotillin 1 has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
FLOT1: May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes, functionally participating in formation of caveolae or caveolae-like vesicles. Heterooligomeric complex of flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 and caveolin-1 and caveolin-2. Interacts with ECM29. Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. Flotillin subfamily.

Product Notes
The Rat FLOT1 flot1 (Catalog #AAA7220479) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7220479 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat FLOT1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Flotillin-1 (FLOT1), 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
