Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Human
• Product Format: In Solution

• ELISA Kit Detection Method: Colorimetric, OD450 nm
• ELISA Kit Duration: 80 Minutes
• ELISA Kit Principle: Aviva Systems Biology Alpha 2-Macroglobulin ELISA Kit (Human) (OKIA00052) is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay technology. An antibody for Alpha-2-macroglobulin has been pre-coated onto a 96-wellplate (12 x 8 Well Strips). Standards or test samples are added to the wells, incubated and washed to remove unbound proteins. An Anti-Alpha-2-macroglobulin - HRP conjugated detector antibody is then added, incubated and unbound conjugate is washed away. An enzymatic reaction is produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by HRP generating a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration read by absorbance at 450 nm is quantitatively proportional to the amount of sample Alpha-2-macroglobulin captured in the well.

Target Info

• Gene Symbol: A2M
• Gene Full Name: alpha-2-macroglobulin
• Alias Symbols: A2MD, CPAMD5, FWP007, S863-7
• NCBI Gene Id: 2
• Protein Name: Alpha-2-macroglobulin
• Description of Target: Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme remains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced). Following cleavage in the bait region, a thioester bond is hydrolyzed and mediates the covalent binding of the protein to the proteinase.
