products description :
Intended Uses: This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Human MAU concentrations in urine. Please consult technical support for the applicability if other biological fluids need to be tested. Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human MAU. Samples (or Standards) and biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human MAU are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human MAU would combined with the specific antibody. Then Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human MAU, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human MAU. You can calculate the concentration of Human MAU in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve!!Background/Introduction: Microalbuminuria is a subtle increase in the urinary excretion of the protein albumin that cannot be detected by a conventional assay. In diabetes, microalbuminuria is an early sign of diabetic kidney disease. Specifically, the excretion of greater than 30 mg and less than 300 mg a day of albumin in the urine. The normal urinary albumin is less than 30 mg per 24 hours and 300 mg or more of urinary albumin per day is considered gross albuminuria. The phenomenon of albuminuria has been recognized for more than 200 years, and its association with kidney disease dates to the epochal insights of Richard Bright in 1827[1]. Microalbuminuria is caused by glomerular capillary injury and so may be a marker for diffuse endothelial dysfunction. According to Steno hypothesis, albuminuria might reflect a general vascular dysfunction and leakage of albumin and other plasma macromolecules such as low density lipoproteins into the vessel wall that may lead to inflammatory responses and in turn start the atherosclerotic process [2].

ncbi summary :
DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. In contrast to other MBD family members, MECP2 is X-linked and subject to X inactivation. MECP2 is dispensible in stem cells, but is essential for embryonic development. MECP2 gene mutations are the cause of most cases of Rett syndrome, a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females.

uniprot summary :
MECP2: Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Interacts with FNBP3. Interacts with CDKL5. Present in all adult somatic tissues tested. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Transcription, coactivator/corepressor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq28. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; heterochromatin; extracellular space; nucleus; cytosol.
