specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of human TAFI. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between human TAFI and analogues was observed.
storage stability :
Unopened test kits should be stored at 2 to 8 degree C upon receipt. Please refer to pdf manual for further storage instructions.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma and tissue homogenates. Assay Type: Competitive. Detection Range: 3.12 ng/ml -200 ng/ml. Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of human TAFI is typically less than 0.78 ng/ml. The sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. It was determined the mean O.D value of 20 replicates of the zero standard added by their three standard deviations.
other info2 :
Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%. Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. Inter-assay Precision: Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%. Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.
products description :
Principle of the assay: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with TAFI. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated antibody preparation specific for TAFI. The competitive inhibition reaction is launched between with pre-coated TAFI and TAFI in samples. A substrate solution is added to the wells and the color develops in opposite to the amount of TAFI in the samples. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

ncbi summary :
Carboxypeptidases are enzymes that hydrolyze C-terminal peptide bonds. The carboxypeptidase family includes metallo-, serine, and cysteine carboxypeptidases. According to their substrate specificity, these enzymes are referred to as carboxypeptidase A (cleaving aliphatic residues) or carboxypeptidase B (cleaving basic amino residues). The protein encoded by this gene is activated by trypsin and acts on carboxypeptidase B substrates. After thrombin activation, the mature protein downregulates fibrinolysis. Polymorphisms have been described for this gene and its promoter region. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
uniprot summary :
Function: Cleaves C-terminal arginine or lysine residues from biologically active peptides such as kinins or anaphylatoxins in the circulation thereby regulating their activities. Down-regulates fibrinolysis by removing C-terminal lysine residues from fibrin that has already been partially degraded by plasmin.1 PublicationManual assertion based on experiment in:Ref.8. Catalytic activity: Release of C-terminal Arg and Lys from a polypeptide.1 PublicationManual assertion based on experiment in:Ref.8. Cofactor: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. Enzyme regulation: TAFI/CPB2 is unique among carboxypeptidases in that it spontaneously inactivates with a short half-life, a property that is crucial for its role in controlling blood clot lysis. The zymogen is stabilized by interactions with the activation peptide. Release of the activation peptide increases a dynamic flap mobility and in time this leads to conformational changes that disrupt the catalytic site and expose a cryptic thrombin-cleavage site present at Arg-324.1 PublicationManual assertion based on experiment in:Ref.13
