Material not included: Microplate Reader capable of reading absorbance at 450nm. Incubator. Automated plate washer (optional). Pipettes and pipette tips capable of precisely dispensing 0.5 μL through 1 mL volumes of aqueous solutions. Multichannel pipettes are recommended for large amount of samples. Deionized or distilled water. 500 mL graduated cylinders. Test tubes for dilution.

Application Details

Application Notes: Before using Kit, spin tubes and bring down all components to bottom of tube. Duplicate well assay was recommended for both standard and sample testing.

Sample Volume: 100 μL

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: ELISA Kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. An antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection antibody specific for target is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the target amount in sample captured in plate.

Target Details for LGMN

Target: LGMN (Legumain (LGMN))

Alternative Name: Lgmn

Background:

Background: Legumain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGMN gene. It is mapped to 6q32. This gene encodes a cysteine protease, legumain, that has a strict specificity for hydrolysis of asparaginyl bonds. This enzyme may be involved in the processing of bacterial peptides and endogenous proteins for MHC class II presentation in the lysosomal/endosomal systems. Enzyme activation is triggered by acidic pH and appears to be autocatalytic. Protein expression occurs after monocytes differentiate into dendritic cells. A fully mature, active enzyme is produced following lipopolysaccharide expression in mature dendritic cells. Overexpression of this gene may be associated with the majority of solid tumor types. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 13. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the biological validity of only two has been determined. These two variants encode the same isoform.

Gene Full Name: legumain

Gene ID: 63865

UniProt: Q9R0J8

Pathways: Metabolism of Steroid Hormones and Vitamin D, Activation of Innate immune Response, Toll-Like Receptors Cascades
