uniprot entry name :
PTN_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of PTN. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between PTN and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between PTN and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, Cell Culture Supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Assay Type: Competitive. Sensitivity: 1.0 pg/mL.
other info2 :

products description :
Principle of the assay: PTN ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-PTN antibody and an PTN-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with PTN-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 PTN concentration since PTN from samples and PTN-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-PTN antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by PTN from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind PTN-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The PTN concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

uniprot summary :
PTN: Secreted growth factor that induces neurite outgrowth and which is mitogenic for fibroblasts, epithelial, and endothelial cells. Binds anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) which induces MAPK pathway activation, an important step in the anti- apoptotic signaling of PTN and regulation of cell proliferation. Belongs to the pleiotrophin family. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q33. Cellular Component: extracellular space; endoplasmic reticulum. Molecular Function: heparin binding; growth factor activity; protein phosphatase inhibitor activity. Biological Process: nervous system development; positive regulation of cell division; positive regulation of cell proliferation; negative regulation of catalytic activity; learning; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase signaling pathway; bone mineralization
