Procalcitonin Antibody (952123) [Unconjugated]

Recombinant Human Procalcitonin protein was serially diluted 2-fold and captured by Mouse Anti-Human Procalcitonin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB83502) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Mouse Anti-Human Procalcitonin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB83501) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998) followed by Substrate Solution (Catalog # DY999) and stopping the enzymatic reaction with Stop Solution (Catalog # DY994).

Background

Human Procalcitonin (CALCA and Calcitonin) is 141 amino acids (aa) in length member of the calcitonin family. Precursor protein is cleaved into a propeptide and the following 2 chains: Calcitonin (aa 85-116) and Katacalcin (aa 121-141). Antigen used to develop this antibody is correspondent to the propeptide part of the precursor molecule. Secreted Calcitonin is known to cause a rapid but short-lived drop in the level of calcium and phosphate in blood by promoting the incorporation of those ions in the bones. Over aa 26-38, human Procalcitonin shares 64% aa identity with mouse Procalcitonin.
