Analysis of PR/PGR (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1133-LGZ)

Introduction

The PR/PGR gene encodes a member of the steroid receptor superfamily. The encoded protein mediates the physiological effects of progesterone, which plays a central role in reproductive events related to the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. This gene uses two distinct promoters and translation initiation sites in the first exon to generate several transcript variants, both protein-coding and non-protein-coding. The two isoforms (A and B) are identical except for an additional 165 amino acids found at the N-terminus of the B isoform, which regulate their own response genes and physiological effects with little overlap.




Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.
