Human Arsenic, 3-Oxidation State Methyltransferase (AS3MT) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to AS3MT. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to AS3MT. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain AS3MT, 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 AS3MT in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
For Use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Target Information
Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from AdoMet to trivalent arsenicals producing methylated and dimethylated arsenicals (PubMed:16407288, PubMed:25997655). It methylates arsenite to form methylarsonate, Me-AsO(3)H(2), which is reduced by methylarsonate reductase to methylarsonite, Me-As(OH)2 (PubMed:16407288, PubMed:25997655). Methylarsonite is also a substrate and it is converted into the much less toxic compound dimethylarsinate (cacodylate), Me(2)As(O)-OH (PubMed:16407288, PubMed:25997655).

Performance Characteristics
REPEATABILITY |
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level AS3MT were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. |
SENSITIVITY | The minimum detectable dose was 32pg/mL. |
ASSAY RANGE | 78.1-5000pg/mL |
SPECIFICITY | This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of AS3MT. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between AS3MT and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between AS3MT and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist. |
