人p53 ELISA试剂盒

产品详情

Human p53 ELISA Kit ab171571 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human p53 in cell culture extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 65 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human p53 SimpleStep ELISA^®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA^® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA^® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA^® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

p53 (TP53 gene) acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types and induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. p53 is involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. p53 mediated apoptosis induction seems to be by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. p53 is also implicated in Notch signaling crossover

The p53 protein is found in increased amounts in a wide variety of transformed cells. p53 is mutated or inactivated in about 60% of cancers. Four types of cancers account for 80% of tumors occurring in TP53 germline mutation carriers: breast cancers, soft tissue and bone sarcomas, brain tumors (astrocytomas) and adrenocortical carcinomas.

p53 levels are kept low through a continuous degradation of p53. Mdm2 binds to p53, preventing its action and transports it from the nucleus to the cytosol. Mdm2 also acts as ubiquitin ligase and covalently attaches ubiquitin to p53 and thus marks p53 for degradation by the proteasome. The ubiquitin can be cleaved by USP7 (or HAUSP), thereby protecting it from this proteasome dependent degradation. This is one means by which p53 is stabilized in response to oncogenic insults.

Phosphorylation of the N-terminal end of p53, and conformational changes to p53, disrupt Mdm2-binding leading to p53 accumulation. Acetylation of the C-terminal end of p53 exposes the DNA binding domain of p53, allowing it to activate or repress specific genes.

Deacetylase enzymes, such as Sirt1 and Sirt7, can deacetylate p53, leading to an inhibition of apoptosis.
