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 Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2 (FFAR2). Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2 (FFAR2). 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 Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2 (FFAR2), 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 Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2 (FFAR2) 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 Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2 (FFAR2) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.

• Protein Name: Free fatty acid receptor 2
• Description of Target: G protein-coupled receptor that is activated by a major product of dietary fiber digestion, the short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and that plays a role in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis and in intestinal immunity. In omnivorous mammals, the short chain fatty acids acetate, propionate and butyrate are produced primarily by the gut microbiome that metabolizes dietary fibers. SCFAs serve as a source of energy but also act as signaling molecules. That G protein-coupled receptor is probably coupled to the pertussis toxin-sensitive, G(i/o)-alpha family of G proteins but also to the Gq family (PubMed:23589301). Its activation results in the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, the mobilization of intracellular calcium, the phosphorylation of the MAPK3/ERK1 and MAPK1/ERK2 kinases and the inhibition of intracellular cAMP accumulation. May play a role in glucose homeostasis by regulating the secretion of GLP-1, in response to short-chain fatty acids accumulating in the intestine (PubMed:22190648, PubMed:23589301). May also regulate the production of LEP/Leptin, a hormone acting on the central nervous system to inhibit food intake (PubMed:20399779). Finally, may also regulate whole-body energy homeostasis through adipogenesis regulating both differentiation and lipid storage of adipocytes (PubMed:16123168, PubMed:23589301). In parallel to its role in energy homeostasis, may also mediate the activation of the inflammatory and immune responses by SCFA in the intestine, regulating the rapid production of chemokines and cytokines (PubMed:23665276). May also play a role in the resolution of the inflammatory response and control chemotaxis in neutrophils (PubMed:19917676, PubMed:19865172). In addition to SCFAs, may also be activated by the extracellular lectin FCN1 in a process leading to activation of monocytes and inducing the secretion of interleukin-8/IL-8 in response to the presence of microbes.
