This kit recognizes natural and recombinant Human POMC. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human POMC and analogues was observed.

Store at 4 degree C.

Samples: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Assay Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 0.156-10ng/mL. Sensitivity: 0.094ng/mL

Intended Uses: This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Human POMC concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to POMC. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for POMC and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain POMC, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of POMC. You can calculate the concentration of POMC in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

This gene encodes a polypeptide hormone precursor that undergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. There are eight potential cleavage sites within the polypeptide precursor and, depending on tissue type and the available convertases, processing may yield as many as ten biologically active peptides involved in diverse cellular functions. The encoded protein is synthesized mainly in corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary where four cleavage sites are used; adrenocorticotrophin, essential for normal steroidogenesis and the maintenance of normal adrenal weight, and lipotropin beta are the major end products. In other tissues, including the hypothalamus, placenta, and epithelium, all cleavage sites may be used, giving rise to peptides with roles in pain and energy homeostasis, melanocyte stimulation, and immune modulation. These include several distinct melanotropins, lipotropins, and endorphins that are contained within the adrenocorticotrophin and beta-lipotropin peptides. The antimicrobial melanotropin alpha peptide exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair pigmentation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

POMC: ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Defects in POMC may be associated with susceptibility to obesity (OBESITY). It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat. Defects in POMC are the cause of pro-opiomelanocortinin deficiency (POMCD). Affected individuals present early-onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency and red hair. Belongs to the POMC family. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p23.3. Cellular Component: extracellular space; peroxisomal matrix; cytoplasm; extracellular region; peroxisome; secretory granule. Molecular Function: type 3 melanocortin receptor binding; G-protein-coupled receptor binding; type 4 melanocortin receptor binding; hormone activity; receptor binding. Biological Process: generation of precursor metabolites and energy; cellular protein metabolic process; cell-cell signaling; neuropeptide signaling pathway; regulation of blood pressure; regulation of appetite; peptide hormone processing; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; glucose homeostasis; signal transduction; cellular pigmentation. Disease: Obesity; Proopiomelanocortin Deficiency
