Mouse Insulin Degrading Enzyme (IDE) ELISA Kit
Dynamic Assay Range: 300pg/ml - 60ng/ml. Sensitivity: 220pg/ml (July 2014)
Lead Time: Approximately 2.5 weeks
Specifications
Methods Overview:
The included ELISA micro-strip plate is provided pre-coated with an a monoclonal capture antibody selective to the antigen. Samples are pre-mixed with a provided biotin-linked detection antibody and provided streptavidin-HRP, which are then added to the plate. The plate is washed after a 60 min incubation period. Color reagents are added, resulting in a reaction with HRP that yields a blue colored solution. A stop solution is applied to terminate the reaction, and the solution is measured at 450nm.
Protocol: (Updated assay range and standard are posted on this webpage). Sandwich ELISA Methods to Insulin Degrading Enzyme (IDE)
ELISA Assay Steps
Introduction to Insulin Degrading Enzyme:
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a zinc-binding protease known to cleave short polypeptides with variable sequences. IDE was first identifiable for its ability to degrade the B chain of insulin and has since been shown to have additional substrates, including the signaling peptides glucagon, TGF alpha, β-endorphin and amyloid-beta (Aβ). In vitro and in vivo studies have shown correlations between IDE activity levels, Aβ degradation, and Alzheimer’s disease. Mice engineered to lack both alleles of the IDE gene show a 50% decrease in Aβ degradation, resulting in cerebral accumulation of Aβ. Studies of genetically inherited forms of Alzheimer’s show reduction in both IDE expression and catalytic activity among affected indiivduals.
