Analysis of Serpin A12/Vaspin (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1179-LGZ)

Introduction

Visceral fat-specific serine protease inhibitor (Vaspin, also known as Serpin A12), a 47kDa protein with 415 amino acids, belongs to the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) family and is also an interesting new adipocyte cytokine. The expression of Serpin A12 in abdominal adipose tissue is adipocyte-specific, and with the increase of visceral adipose tissue mass, the expression of Serpin A12 in subcutaneous adipose tissue will also decrease.




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.
