Rat Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) ELISA Kit | KTE100262 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Rat Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SHH in samples. An antibody specific for SHH has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySHH present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SHH 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 SHH bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Detection Method: Colorimetric

Conjugate: N/A

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: Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a member of a small family of secreted proteins that are essential for development in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In mammals, there are three related hedgehog genes (sonic; desert; Indian) which share approximately 60 % amino acid (aa) identity. Human Shh is synthesized as a 437 aa precursor that contains a 24 aa signal sequence and a 413 aa mature region. The mature region is autocatalytically processed into a nonglycosylated, 20 kDa, 174 aa N-terminal fragment (Shh-N), and a catalytic-processing, glycosylated, 34 kDa, 239 aa C-terminal fragment.The 20 kDa Shh-N fragment is the core of the active hedgehog molecule. It begins with a Cys and ends with a Gly, and both amino acids are sites of lipid modification.
