uniprot entry name :
DCE1_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Anti-GAD. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Anti-GAD and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between Anti-GAD 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: 0.1 ng/mL

products description :
Intended Uses: This Anti-GAD ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Human Anti-GAD. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!. Principle of the Assay: Anti-GAD LISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase antigen and an Anti-GAD-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with Anti-GAD-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 Anti-GAD concentration since Anti-GAD from samples and Anti-GAD-HRP conjugate compete for the Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase antigen binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by Anti-GAD from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind Anti-GAD-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The Anti-GAD concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantigen and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Deficiency in this enzyme has been shown to lead to pyridoxine dependency with seizures. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two products, the predominant 67-kD form and a less-frequent 25-kD form. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
