Mouse Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) ELISA Kit | KTE70517

Mouse Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) ELISA Kit | KTE70517 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Mouse Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate RBP4 in samples. An antibody specific for RBP4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyRBP4 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for RBP4 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 RBP4 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.

Background: Retinol binding protein (RBP) 4 is the only specific transport protein for vitamin A in the circulation whose function is to deliver vitamin to target tissues. In obesity and type 2 diabetes, expression of Glut4 is significantly impaired in adipocytes. Glucose transport via Glut4 is the rate-limiting step for glucose use by muscle and adipose tissue. Yang et al. noted that adipocytespecific deletion of Gluts led to notable elevation of RBP4 causing systemic insulin resistance, and that reduction of RBP4 improved insulin resistance. This identified a novel role of RBP4 in regulating insulin action and RBP4 is recorded as an adipocytederived hormone. Thus, measurement of serum or plasma RBP4 is a useful means for understanding of metabolic disorders.
