Human ATP Binding Cassette Transporter A3 (ABCA3) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to ABCA3. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to ABCA3. 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 ABCA3, 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 ABCA3 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

Catalyzes the ATP-dependent transport of phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphoglycerol from the cytoplasm into the lumen side of lamellar bodies, in turn participates in the lamellar bodies biogenesis and homeostasis of pulmonary surfactant (PubMed:16959783, PubMed:17574245, PubMed:28887056, PubMed:31473345, PubMed:27177387). Transports preferentially phosphatidylcholine containing short acyl chains (PubMed:27177387). In addition plays a role as an efflux transporter of miltefosine across macrophage membranes and free cholesterol (FC) through intralumenal vesicles by removing FC from the cell as a component of surfactant and protects cells from free cholesterol toxicity (PubMed:26903515, PubMed:25817392, PubMed:27177387).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level ABCA3 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level ABCA3 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 29pg/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	78.1-5000pg/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of ABCA3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between ABCA3 and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between ABCA3 and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist.
