Rat Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) ELISA Kit | KTE100339 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Rat Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ADMA in samples. An antibody specific for ADMA has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyADMA present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ADMA 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 ADMA 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: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a naturally occurring chemical found in blood plasma. It is a metabolic by-product of continual protein modification processes in the cytoplasm of all human cells. It is closely related to L-arginine, a conditionally-essential amino acid. ADMA interferes with L-arginine in the production of nitric oxide, a key chemical involved in normal endothelial function and, by extension, cardiovascular health. Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized in endothelial cells by the enzyme endothelial nitric oxide synthase. The production rate of NO is a key factor for endothelial and cardiovascular functions. The substrate of endothelial nitric oxide synthase is Arg, which is converted into the products NO and citrulline. The enzyme is inhibited by the endogenous Arg metabolite asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) .
