Human Peroxidasin Homolog (PXDN) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to PXDN. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to PXDN. 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 PXDN, 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 PXDN in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Target Information

Catalyzes the two-electron oxidation of bromide by hydrogen peroxide and generates hypobromite as a reactive intermediate which mediates the formation of sulfilimine cross-links between methionine and hydroxylysine residues within an uncross-linked collagen IV/COL4A1 NC1 hexamer (PubMed:18929642, PubMed:22842973, PubMed:27697841, PubMed:28154175, PubMed:19590037, PubMed:25708780, PubMed:25713063, PubMed:34679700). In turns, directly contributes to the collagen IV network-dependent fibronectin/FN and laminin assembly, which is required for full extracellular matrix (ECM)-mediated signaling (PubMed:32543734, PubMed:34679700, PubMed:19590037). Thus, sulfilimine cross-links are essential for growth factor-induced cell proliferation and survival in endothelial cells, an event essential to basement membrane integrity (PubMed:32543734). In addition, through the bromide oxidation, may promote tubulogenesis and induce angiogenesis through ERK1/2, Akt, and FAK pathways (PubMed:25713063). Moreover brominates alpha2 collagen IV chain/COL4A2 at 'Tyr-1485' and leads to bromine enrichment of the basement membranes (PubMed:32571911). In vitro, can also catalyze the two-electron oxidation of thiocyanate and iodide and these two substrates could effectively compete with bromide and thus inhibit the formation of sulfilimine bonds (PubMed:28154175). Binds laminins (PubMed:32485152). May play a role in the organization of eyeball structure and lens development during eye development (By similarity).
