Background
Nrf2 is a transcription factor which belongs to the Cap N Collar (CNC-bZIP) subfamily with an implication in adaptive responses to oxidative stress. Nrf2 is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor that can bind to a NF-E2/AP-1 repeat sequence in the promoter of the beta-globin gene and has two types of binding partners, a cytoplasmic repressor (Keap I) and multiple nuclear binding partners. During oxidative stress on a cell, Nrf2 is released from Keap I, possibly via PKC phosphorylation at serine 40, and translocates to the nucleus. In the nucleus, Nrf2 binds to antioxidant responsive element (ARE) and leads to transcriptional activation of downstream genes for GSTs, glutamate-cysteine ligase, HO-1, and thioredoxin. Nrf2 and its downstream proteins have shown to have important functions in protection against oxidative stress or chemical-induced cellular damage in liver and lung, prevention in cancer formation in GI tract, and promotion of the wound-healing process.

What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
