Human Syndecan-4 - SDC4 ELISA Kit

Syndecan-4 (SDC4) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDC4 gene. The protein is found as a homodimer and is a member of the syndecan proteoglycan family. It is mapped to 20q13.12. Syndecan-4 is one of the four vertebrate syndecans and has a molecular weight of ~20 kDa. It is a transmembrane (type I) heparan sulfate proteoglycan that functions as a receptor in intracellular signaling. Syndecan-4 also regulates the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, and cell migration. In addition, Syndecan-4 can activate protein kinase C (PKC) . The variable domain of syndecan-4 could be a site of self-association. What’s more, Syndecan-4 also binds to phosphatidylinositol (4,5) -bisphosphate (PIP2) through the variable domain and increases PKC activity ten-fold. Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 4000pg/ml, 2000pg/ml,1000pg/ml, 500pg/ml, 250pg/ml, 125pg/ml, 62.5pg/ml human Syndecan-4 standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well) . Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates or serum to each empty well. It is recommended that each human Syndecan-4 standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
