GAS6(Growth arrest-specific 6), also known as AXLLG or AXSF, is a human gene coding for the Gas6 protein. It is mapped to 13q34. GAS6 was originally found as a gene upregulated by growth arrested fibroblasts. This gene product is a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid(Gla)-containing protein which thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation, and may play a role in thrombosis. What's more, the product of the GAS6 gene, a ligand for the AXL, MER, and TYRO3 tyrosine kinase receptors, is a vitamin K-dependent protein, structurally related to anticoagulant protein S but lacking its anticoagulant activity. This protein also shows great importance in the cardiovascular system.
Sample Type:Cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA)
Intended Use:For quantitative detection of mouse GAS6 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Sensitivity:<10pg/ml
Range:31.2-2000pg/ml
Specificity:Natural and recombinant mouse GAS6
Test Principle:This mouse GAS6 BioAssay™ ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for GAS6 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for GAS6 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 density of yellow is proportional to the mouse GAS6 amount of sample captured in plate.
Storage and Stability:Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for at least 6 months For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
