Nori Human Apelin 12 ELISA Kit
$508.00 – $916.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of apelin 12 in human. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for APLN12 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any APLN12 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for APLN12 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of APLN12 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.
Alternative names for apelin 12: APLN12, APLN 12

Background:
Apelin (also known as APLN) is a peptide that in humans is encoded by the APLN gene.[1] Apelin is the endogenous ligand for the G-protein-coupled APJ receptor[2-6] that is expressed at the surface of some cell types. It is widely expressed in various organs such as the heart, lung, kidney, liver, adipose tissue, gastrointestinal tract, brain, adrenal glands, endothelium, and human plasma. Apelin is a new peptide that was identified in 1998 by Professor M. Fujino’s team.[1] Apelin gene encodes a pre-proprotein of 77 amino acids,[1] with a signal peptide in the N-terminal region. After translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum and cleavage of the signal peptide, the proprotein of 55 amino acids may generate several active fragments: a 36 amino acid peptide corresponding to the sequence 42-77 (apelin 36), a 17 amino acid peptide corresponding to the sequence 61-77 (apelin 17) and a 13 amino acid peptide corresponding to the sequence 65-77 (apelin 13). This latter fragment may also undergo a pyroglutamylation at the level of its N-terminal glutamine residue. However the presence and/or the concentrations of those peptides in human plasma has been questioned.[7] Recently, 46 different apelin peptides ranging from apelin 55 (proapelin) to apelin 12 have been identified in bovine colostrum, including C-ter truncated isoforms.[8] The sites of receptor expression are clearly linked to the different functions played by apelin in the organism.
