Nori Human PAPP-A ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of PAPP-A 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 PAPP-A has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any PAPP-A present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for PAPP-A 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 PAPP-A bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
Pappalysin-1, also known as pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, is a protein encoded by the PAPPA gene in humans.[1,2] PAPPA is a secreted protease whose main substrate is insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs).[3] Pappalysin-1 is also used in screening tests for Down syndrome.[4] PAPPA’s proteolytic function is activated upon collagen binding. It is thought to be involved in local proliferative processes such as wound healing and bone remodeling. Low plasma level of this protein has been suggested as a biochemical marker for pregnancies with aneuploid fetuses. For example, low PAPPA may be commonly seen in prenatal screening for Down syndrome.[4] Low levels may alternatively predict issues with the placenta, resulting in adverse complications such as intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, placental abruption, premature birth, or fetal death. PAPP-A has been shown to interact with major basic protein[2][4] and specifically inhibits the third component of human complement (C3).[6] PAPP-A interacts with serine proteinases.[7] In STEMI patients, Stanniocalcin-2 and IGFBP-4 emerged as independent predictors of all-cause death and readmission due to HF. The Stanniocalcin-2/PAPP-A/IGFBP-4 axis exhibits a significant role in STEMI risk stratification.[8]
