Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 15 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAM15 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) protein family. ADAM family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins known to be involved in cell adhesion and proteolytic ectodomain processing of cytokines and adhesion molecules. This protein contains multiple functional domains including a zinc- binding metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin-like domain, as well as an EGF-like domain. Through its disintegrin-like domain, this protein specifically interacts with the integrin beta chain, beta 3. It also interacts with Src family protein-tyrosine kinases in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, suggesting that this protein may function in cell-cell adhesion as well as in cellular signaling. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. Sample Type: Cell lysates, cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (Heparin or EDTA). Intended Use: Sandwich High Sensitivity BioAssay(TM) ELISA kit for Quantitative Detection of Human ADAM15. Sensitivity: <12pg/ml Range: 62.5pg/ml-4000pg/ml Specificity: Recognizes natural and recombinant Human ADAM15. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Test Principle: This Human ADAM15 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A specific for ADAM15 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(Expression system for standard: NSO, Immunogen sequence: D207-T696) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection specific for ADAM15 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human ADAM15 amount of sample captured in plate.
