Analysis of YKL-40 (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1270-LGZ)

Introduction

YKL-40, also known as chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1), is a secreted glycoprotein encoded by the CHI3L1 gene. Unlike other members of the chitinase-like protein family, YKL-40 is not an active chitinase. It is produced by activated macrophages, chondrocytes, neutrophils and synoviocytes. It is a pro-inflammatory molecule that contributes to the exacerbation of many inflammatory diseases, including fibrosis, neurodegenerative diseases, breast, lung, prostate, liver, bladder, colon and other types of cancer.

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.

Applications

Cytokines & Chemokines, Immunology/Inflammation
