Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Rat Calbindin (CALB1) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Calbindin is a calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. It was originally described as a 27-kD protein induced by vitamin D in the duodenum of the chick. In the brain, its synthesis is independent of vitamin-D-derived hormones. Calbindin contains 4 active calcium-binding domains, and 2 modified domains that presumably have lost their calcium-binding capacity. The neurons in brains of patients with Huntington disease are calbindin-depleted. The sequence showed an open reading frame coding for a protein of 261 amino acids, containing 4 active calcium-binding domains, and 2 modified domains that presumably have lost their calcium-binding capacity. The preliminary data suggested that the 29-kD protein in brain is encoded by a different gene.
• Storage and shipping:All of the components are shipped on ice packs/blue ice. Upon receiving the kit keep it at +4 degrees Celsius for up to 1 year (refer to the label on the box for the exact expiration date).
• Notes:This kit is intended for research use only. It should not be used for human or animal clinical diagnostics or treatment.
