Human Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 12 (KRT12) ELISA Kit | KTE61886 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Human Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 12 (KRT12) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate KRT12 in samples. An antibody specific for KRT12 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyKRT12 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for KRT12 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of KRT12 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Usage Note: • Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.
• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Storage Instruction: The unopened kit should be stored at 2 - 8°C. After opening, please store refer to protocols.

Shipping: Gel pack with blue ice.

Background: Keratin 12 is a keratin found expressed in corneal epithelia. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein lead to Meesmann corneal dystrophy. To elucidate the function of keratin 12, Kao et al. (1996) created knockout mice lacking the Krt1.12 gene by gene targeting techniques. The heterozygous mice appeared normal. Homozygous mice developed normally and suffered mild corneal epithelial erosion. The corneal epithelia were fragile and could be removed by gentle rubbing of the eyes or brushing. The corneal epithelium of the homozygotes did not express keratin 12 as judged by immunohistochemistry, Western immunoblot analysis with epitope-specific anti-keratin 12 antibodies, Northern hybridization, and in situ hybridization with an antisense keratin 12 riboprobe.
