other info2 :
Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%. Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. Inter-assay Precision: Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%. Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.
products description :
Principle of the Assay This assay employs the direct competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for GIF has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells with biotin-conjugated GIF. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between GIF (Standards or samples) and biotin-conjugated GIF with the pre-coated GIF antibody. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in opposite to the amount of GIF bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

ncbi summary :
binds vitamin B12 (cobalamin) [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary :
GIF: Promotes absorption of the essential vitamin cobalamin (Cbl) in the ileum. After interaction with CUBN, the GIF-cobalamin complex is internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Defects in GIF are the cause of hereditary intrinsic factor deficiency (IFD); also known as congenital pernicious anemia. IFD is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by megaloblastic anemia. Belongs to the eukaryotic cobalamin transport proteins family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Cellular Component: extracellular space; microvillus; apical plasma membrane; endosome. Molecular Function: vitamin binding; cobalamin binding. Biological Process: cobalamin metabolic process; cobalamin transport; cobalt ion transport
