Human Protein L-Isoaspartate-O-Methyltransferase (PCMT1) 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 PCMT1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human PCMT1. 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 PCMT1, 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 PCMT1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

For use with: serum, plasma, and other biological fluids.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Target Information

Initiates the repair of damaged proteins by catalyzing methyl esterification of L-isoaspartyl and D-aspartyl residues produced by spontaneous isomerization and racemization of L-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues in aging peptides and proteins (PubMed:3167043, PubMed:6469980). Acts on EIF4EBP2, microtubule-associated protein 2, calreticulin, clathrin light chains a and b, Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1, phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1, stathmin, beta-synuclein and alpha-synuclein (By similarity).

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 13.5pg/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	31.25–2,000pg/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human PCMT1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PCMT1 and analogues was observed.
