specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of OPRM-1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between OPRM-1 and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between OPRM-1 and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.

products description :
Principle of the assay: OPRM-1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-OPRM-1 antibody and an OPRM-1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with OPRM-1-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the OPRM-1 concentration since OPRM-1 from samples and OPRM-1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-OPRM-1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by OPRM-1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind OPRM-1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The OPRM-1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes one of at least three opioid receptors in humans; the mu opioid receptor (MOR). The MOR is the principal target of endogenous opioid peptides and opioid analgesic agents such as beta-endorphin and enkephalins. The MOR also has an important role in dependence to other drugs of abuse, such as nicotine, cocaine, and alcohol via its modulation of the dopamine system. The NM_001008503.2:c.118A G allele has been associated with opioid and alcohol addiction and variations in pain sensitivity but evidence for it having a causal role is conflicting. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Though the canonical MOR belongs to the superfamily of 7-transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptors some isoforms of this gene have only 6 transmembrane domains.

uniprot summary :
MOR-1: a Gi-protein-coupled receptor for beta-endorphin, morphine and other opiates. Inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance. Ligand-binding inactivates adenylyl cyclase, and activates a variety of G-beta-gamma-dependent pathways including the MAPK and the PI3K/Akt cascades. Two splice-variant isoforms have been described. Protein type: GPCR, family 1; Membrane protein, multi-pass; Receptor, GPCR; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q24-q25. Cellular Component: dendrite cytoplasm; Golgi apparatus; neuron projection; focal adhesion; endoplasmic reticulum; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; perikaryon; sarcolemma; lipid raft.
