Human Poly A Specific Ribonuclease (PARN) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human PARN. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human PARN. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Human PARN, 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 Human PARN in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

For use with: Tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.

Target Information

3'-exoribonuclease that has a preference for poly(A) tails of mRNAs, thereby efficiently degrading poly(A) tails. Exonucleolytic degradation of the poly(A) tail is often the first step in the decay of eukaryotic mRNAs and is also used to silence certain maternal mRNAs translationally during oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. Interacts with both the 3'-end poly(A) tail and the 5'-end cap structure during degradation, the interaction with the cap structure being required for an efficient degradation of poly(A) tails. Involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, a critical process of selective degradation of mRNAs that contain premature stop codons. Also involved in degradation of inherently unstable mRNAs that contain AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3'-UTR, possibly via its interaction with KHSRP. Probably mediates the removal of poly(A) tails of AREs mRNAs, which constitutes the first step of destabilization (PubMed:10882133, PubMed:11359775, PubMed:12748283, PubMed:15175153, PubMed:9736620). Also able to recognize and trim poly(A) tails of microRNAs such as MIR21 and H/ACA box snoRNAs (small nucleolar RNAs) leading to microRNAs degradation or snoRNA increased stability (PubMed:25049417, PubMed:22442037).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 8% Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on 1 plate to assess intra-assay precision. Inter-assay Precision (precision between assays)：CV% < 10% Three samples of known concentration were tested in forty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.27ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.79–50ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human PARN. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PARN and analogues was observed.
