Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD) ELISA Kit for Human

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS287203

Principle of the Assay: This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate GAD in Human serum, plasma. An antibody specific for GAD has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any GAD present is bound… More details

Other Notes

Small volumes of GAD elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Searchable Terms for GAD purchase

MBS287203 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip-or-full plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing GAD. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS287203 kit is based on GAD antibody-GAD antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect GAD antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, GAD. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).

NCBI Summary for GAD

This gene encodes one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantigen and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Deficiency in this enzyme has been shown to lead to pyridoxine dependency with seizures. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two products, the predominant 67-kD form and a less-frequent 25-kD form. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
