Rat Paired Box Gene 6 (PAX6) 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 PAX6. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to PAX6. 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 PAX6, 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 PAX6 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Target Information

Transcription factor with important functions in the development of the eye, nose, central nervous system and pancreas. Required for the differentiation of pancreatic islet alpha cells. Competes with PAX4 in binding to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters (By similarity). Regulates specification of the ventral neuron subtypes by establishing the correct progenitor domains. Acts as a transcriptional repressor of NFATC1-mediated gene expression (By similarity).
