Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Mouse|Mus musculus
• Application: Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent assay-Sandwich
• ELISA Kit Detection Method: Colorimetric
• ELISA Kit Duration: 3h
• ELISA Kit Principle: The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (ARC). Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (ARC). Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (ARC), biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 10nm. The concentration of Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (ARC) in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
• ELISA Kit Range: 0.156-10ng/mL
• ELISA Kit Reproducibility: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (ARC) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.

• Description of Target: Master regulator of synaptic plasticity that self-assembles into virion-like capsids that encapsulate RNAs and mediate intercellular RNA transfer in the nervous system (By similarity). ARC protein is released from neurons in extracellular vesicles that mediate the transfer of ARC mRNA into new target cells, where ARC mRNA can undergo activity-dependent translation (By similarity). ARC capsids are endocytosed and are able to transfer ARC mRNA into the cytoplasm of neurons (By similarity). Acts as a key regulator of synaptic plasticity: required for protein synthesis-dependent forms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) and for the formation of long-term memory (PubMed:29264923, PubMed:24094104). Regulates synaptic plasticity by promoting endocytosis of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) in response to synaptic activity: this endocytic pathway maintains levels of surface AMPARs in response to chronic changes in neuronal activity through synaptic scaling, thereby contributing to neuronal homeostasis (PubMed:17088213, PubMed:20211139, PubMed:20228806). Acts as a postsynaptic mediator of activity-dependent synapse elimination in the developing cerebellum by mediating elimination of surplus climbing fiber synapses (PubMed:23791196). Accumulates at weaker synapses, probably to prevent their undesired enhancement (By similarity). This suggests that ARC-containing virion-like capsids may be required to eliminate synaptic material (By similarity). Required to transduce experience into long-lasting changes in visual cortex plasticity and for long-term memory (PubMed:17088210, PubMed:20228806). Involved in postsynaptic trafficking and processing of amyloid-beta A4 (APP) via interaction with PSEN1 (PubMed:22036569). In addition to its role in synapses, also involved in the regulation of the immune system: specifically expressed in skin-migratory dendritic cells and regulates fast dendritic cell migration, thereby regulating T-cell activation (PubMed:28783680).
