Proteintech™ Human GDF-15 ELISA Kit

Product Code. 16861516

Brand: Proteintech™ KE0010896T

Description

Solid phase sandwich ELISA used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous GDF-15

• Recognizes human GDF-15
• Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15, macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1, MIC-1) is a protein of transforming growth factor beta (TGFb) superfamily
  • Stress-induced cytokine associated with hypoxia, inflammation and oxidative stress released from endothelial cells after stimulation with pro-inflammatory cytokines
  • Elevated levels in diseases like acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary hypertension and heart failure
  • Associated with cancers, cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory diseases
  • May have paracrine role in modulation of adispose tissue function and body fat mass
  • Highly expressed in placenta
  • Involved in human embryo development and necessary for maintenance of pregnancy

Process:

• Antibody specific for GDF-15 pre-coated onto microwells
• GDF-15 protein in samples captured by the coated antibody after incubation
• After extensive washing, another horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody specific for GDF-15 is added to detect captured GDF-15 protein
• For signal development, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent
• Solution containing sulfuric acid used to stop color development and color intensity
  • Proportional to quantity of bound protein, measurable at 450 nm with correction wavelength set at 630 nm
