Human Patatin Like Phospholipase Domain Containing Protein 3 (PNPLA3) ELISA Kit

Due to the possibility of mismatching between antigens from other origin and antibodies used in our kits (e.g., antibody targets conformational epitope rather than linear epitope), some native or recombinant proteins from other manufacturers may not be recognized by our products.

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to PNPLA3. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to PNPLA3. 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 PNPLA3, 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 PNPLA3 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Target Information

Specifically catalyzes coenzyme A (CoA)-dependent acylation of 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (2-lysophosphatidic acid/LPA) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA), an important metabolic intermediate and precursor for both triglycerides and glycerophospholipids. Does not esterify other lysophospholipids. Acyl donors are long chain (at least C16) fatty acyl-CoAs: arachidonoyl-CoA, linoleoyl-CoA, oleoyl-CoA and at a lesser extent palmitoyl-CoA (PubMed:22560221). Additionally possesses low triacylglycerol lipase and CoA-independent acylglycerol transacylase activities and thus may play a role in acyl-chain remodeling of triglycerides (PubMed:15364929, PubMed:20034933, PubMed:22560221). Has hydrolytic activity against glycerolipids triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol and monoacylglycerol, with a strong preference for oleic acid as the acyl moiety (PubMed:21878620). Possesses phospholipase A2 activity (PubMed:15364929).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level PNPLA3 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level PNPLA3 were tested on 3 different plates, with 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.29ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.781-50ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of PNPLA3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between PNPLA3 and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between PNPLA3 and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist.
