Human Rho Associated Coiled Coil Containing Protein Kinase 1 (Rock1) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rock1. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to Rock1. 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 Rock1, 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 Rock1 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

Protein kinase which is a key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton and cell polarity (PubMed:10436159, PubMed:10652353, PubMed:11018042, PubMed:11283607, PubMed:17158456, PubMed:18573880, PubMed:19131646, PubMed:8617235, PubMed:9722579). Involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton organization, stress fiber and focal adhesion formation, neurite retraction, cell adhesion and motility via phosphorylation of DAPK3, GFAP, LIMK1, LIMK2, MYL9/MLC2, TPPP, PFN1 and PPP1R12A (PubMed:10436159, PubMed:10652353, PubMed:11018042, PubMed:11283607, PubMed:17158456, PubMed:18573880, PubMed:19131646, PubMed:8617235, PubMed:9722579, PubMed:23093407, PubMed:23355470). Phosphorylates FHOD1 and acts synergistically with it to promote SRC-dependent non-apoptotic plasma membrane blebbing (PubMed:18694941). Phosphorylates JIP3 and regulates the recruitment of JNK to JIP3 upon UVB-induced stress (PubMed:19036714). Acts as a suppressor of inflammatory cell migration by regulating PTEN phosphorylation and stability (By similarity). Acts as a negative regulator of VEGF-induced angiogenic endothelial cell activation (PubMed:19181962). Required for centrosome positioning and centrosome-dependent exit from mitosis (By similarity). Plays a role in terminal erythroid differentiation (PubMed:21072057). Inhibits podocyte motility via regulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics and phosphorylation of CFL1 (By similarity). Promotes keratinocyte terminal differentiation (PubMed:19997641). Involved in osteoblast compaction through the fibronectin fibrillogenesis cell-mediated matrix assembly process, essential for osteoblast mineralization (By similarity). May regulate closure of the eyelids and ventral body wall by inducing the assembly of actomyosin bundles (By similarity).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level Rock1 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level Rock1 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 0.048ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.156-10ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of Rock1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Rock1 and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between Rock1 and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist.
