uniprot entry name :
S40A1_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of FPN. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between FPN and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between FPN 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 FPN ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Mouse FPN. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!. Principle of the Assay: FPN ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-FPN antibody and an FPN-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with FPN-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 FPN concentration since FPN from samples and FPN-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-FPN antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by FPN from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind FPN-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The FPN concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a cell membrane protein that may be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cells. Defects in this gene are a cause of hemochromatosis type 4 (HFE4). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
SLC40A1: May be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cell and also in transfer of iron between maternal and fetal circulation. Mediates iron efflux in the presence of a ferroxidase (hephaestin and/or ceruloplasmin). Defects in SLC40A1 are the cause of hemochromatosis type 4 (HFE4). HFE4 is an autosomal dominant iron-loading disorder characterized by early iron accumulation in reticuloendothelial cells and a marked increase in serum ferritin before elevation of the transferrin saturation. Belongs to the ferroportin (FP) (TC 2.A.100) family. SLC40A subfamily. Protein type: Transporter, SLC family; Transporter; Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q32. Cellular Component: multivesicular body; synaptic vesicle; integral to plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; cytoplasm; plasma membrane; integral to membrane; intracellular. Molecular Function: protein binding; iron ion transmembrane transporter activity. Biological Process: anatomical structure morphogenesis; cellular iron ion homeostasis; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; lymphocyte homeostasis; transmembrane transport; negative regulation of apoptosis. Disease: Hemochromatosis, Type 4
