products description :
For Samples: Serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Intended Uses: This HNF4alpha ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Mouse HNF4alpha. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!. Principle of the Assay: HNF4alpha ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for HNF4alpha. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and HNF4alpha if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of HNF4alpha present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for HNF4alpha are added to each well to "sandwich" the HNF4alpha immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain HNF4alpha and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The HNF4alpha concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
uniprot summary :
HNF4 alpha: a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. Controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic gene, alpha 1-antitrypsin, apolipoprotein CIII, and transthyretin genes. May be essential for development of the liver, kidney and intestine. Mutations have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. Protein type: DNA-binding; Transcription factor; Nuclear receptor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q13.12.
