Principle of the Assay: AHSG ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-AHSG antibody and an AHSG-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with AHSG-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 AHSG concentration since AHSG from samples and AHSG-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-AHSG antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by AHSG from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind AHSG-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The AHSG concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
FETUA: Promotes endocytosis, possesses opsonic properties and influences the mineral phase of bone. Shows affinity for calcium and barium ions. Alpha-2-HS glycoprotein derives from this precursor, when the connecting peptide is cleaved off. The two chains A and B are held together by a single disulfide bond. Synthesized in liver and selectively concentrated in bone matrix. Secreted in plasma. It is also found in dentin in much higher quantities than other plasma proteins. Belongs to the fetuin family.
Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q27
Cellular Component: extracellular space; extracellular region
Molecular Function: kinase inhibitor activity; cysteine protease inhibitor activity
Biological Process: negative regulation of bone mineralization; pinocytosis; ossification; positive regulation of phagocytosis; regulation of inflammatory response; acute-phase response; negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of phosphorylation; regulation of bone mineralization; skeletal development

Product Notes
The Sheep Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) ahsg (Catalog #AAA7202077) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7202077 ELISA Kit recognizes Sheep Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG). It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG), 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
