Overview:  
 
Presenilins (Presenilin 1 and Presenilin 2) are multipass-integral membrane proteins thought to function as the catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, a protease complex that catalyzes the cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors and APP (beta-amyloid precursor protein).  Presenilins also cleave E-cadherin promoting the disassembly of the E-cadherin/catenin complex and increasing the pool of cytoplasmic beta-catenin and negatively regulating Wnt signaling. 
    
The gamma-secretase complex is composed of presenilin homodimer (PSEN1 or PSEN2), nicastrin (NCSTN), APH1 (APH1A or APH1B) and PEN2, and additional proteins.  These  proteins are sufficient for catalytic activity.  Other components associated with the gamma-secretase complex include SLC25A64, SLC5A7, and PHB.  Presenilin 1 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, Golgi membrane and cell surface membrane.  Presenilin-1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues that include brain, liver, spleen and lymph nodes.

Methods Overview:
The provided ELISA 96-well micro-strip plate is coated with an affinity purified antibody selective to the antigen.  Upon addition of samples to the wells, the antigen in solution binds to the antibody bound to the plate.  A second affinity purified antibody bound in a complex with horse-radish peroxidase (HRP) is then added, followed by a 30 min incubation period at 37oC.  Unbound antibody is washed away, and then color reagents are added, which upon conversion by HRP, become blue colored.  A stop solution is then added, converting the solution to yellow.  An absorbance multiplate reader is used to quantitate the colorimetric reaction at 450 nm.  
 
This ELISA assay kit provides a standard peptide solution with known concentration to calibrate absorbance readings to concentration.
