Background

The gene encodes an EF hand-containing small calcium binding protein. It is an integral subunit component of Kv4/D (Shal)-type voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Kv4 potassium channels regulate action potentials in neurons and cardiac myocytes. The coexpression of ABP with pore-forming Kv4 alpha subunits causes changes in the gating and amplitude of Kv4 currents, thus profoundly affect the intracellular trafficking and molecular properties of Kv4.2 alpha subunits. It also cause a dramatic redistribution of Kv4.2, releasing intrinsic endoplasmic reticulum retention and allowing for trafficking to the cell surface. It may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium. It maps to 5q35.1 region of human chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variant encoding different isoforms. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in brain and kidney.

FAQs for SHBG ELISA Kit (NBP3-49930). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. 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.
