*The microwell plate is supplied as 12 8-well modules - Each module is designed to break apart for 8 tests.
Description
The PathScan® Total SMAD2/3 Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that recognizes endogenous levels of SMAD2 and SMAD3 proteins. A SMAD2/3 Mouse Antibody has been coated on the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, SMAD2/3 proteins (phospho and nonphospho) are captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, a SMAD2/3 Rabbit Detection Antibody is added to detect captured SMAD2/3 proteins. Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added to develop color. The magnitude of the absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of SMAD2 and SMAD3 proteins.
*Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to kit.
Specificity/Sensitivity
Background
Members of the SMAD family of signal transduction molecules are components of a critical intracellular pathway that transmit TGF-β signals from the cell surface into the nucleus. Three distinct classes of SMADs have been defined: the receptor-regulated SMADs (R-SMADs), which include SMAD1, 2, 3, 5, and 9; the common-mediator SMAD (co-SMAD), SMAD4; and the antagonistic or inhibitory SMADs (I-SMADs), SMAD6 and 7 (1-5). Activated type I receptors associate with specific R-SMADs and phosphorylate them on a conserved carboxy-terminal SSXS motif. The phosphorylated R-SMADs dissociate from the receptor and form a heteromeric complex with SMAD4, initiating translocation of the heteromeric SMAD complex to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, SMADs recruit a variety of DNA binding proteins that function to regulate transcriptional activity (6-8).
