angiopoietin 1

Angiopoietin 1, also called ANG1 is a type of angiopoietin and is encoded by the gene ANGPT1. Angiopoietins are proteins with important roles in vascular development and angiogenesis. All angiopoietins bind with similar affinity to an endothelial cell-specific tyrosine-protein kinase receptor. This gene was mapped to 8q23.1. The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted glycoprotein that activates the receptor by inducing its tyrosine phosphorylation. It plays a critical role in mediating reciprocal interactions between the endothelium and surrounding matrix and mesenchyme and inhibits endothelial permeability. The protein also contributes to blood vessel maturation and stability, and may be involved in early development of the heart.

Expression system for standard: NS0; Immunogen sequence: H16-F498

Assay Methodology: Quantitative Sandwich Immunoassay

Aviva's rat Angiopoietin-1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Angiopoietin-1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NS0, H16-F498) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Angiopoietin-1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The absorbance of yellow is proportional to the rat Angiopoietin-1 amount of sample captured in plate.
