Hydroxyproline ELISA Kit

• Gene Aliases:

  HYP, Hydroxyproline, HYP

• Reactivity:

  All Species

• Target:

  Hydroxyproline is a major component of the protein collagen. Hydroxyproline and proline play key roles for collagen stability. They permit the sharp twisting of the collagen helix. Hydroxyproline is found in few proteins other than collagen. For this reason, hydroxyproline content has been used as an indicator to determine collagen and/or gelatin amount. Hydroxyproline is produced by hydroxylation of the amino acid proline by the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase following protein synthesis (as a post-translational modification) . The enzyme catalysed reaction takes place in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Although it is not directly incorporated into proteins, hydroxyproline comprises roughly 4% of all amino acids found in animal tissue, more than seven amino acids which are directly incorporated.

• Type:

  ELISA Kit

• Applications:

  Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent assay-Competitive

• Assay Principle:

  Aviva Systems Biology Hydroxyproline ELISA Kit (OKEH02551) is based on a competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter well-plate in this kit has been pre-coated with an anti-Hydroxyproline antibody. Sample or standards are added to the wells along with a fixed quantity of biotinylated Hydroxyproline and incubated. The Hydroxyproline found in the sample or standards competes with the biotinylated Hydroxyproline for limited binding sites on the immobilized anti-Hydroxyproline antibody. Excess unbound biotinylated Hydroxyproline and sample or standard Hydroxyproline is washed from the plate. Avidin-HRP conjugate is added, incubated and washed. An enzymatic reaction is then produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by the immobilized HRP to generate a blue color product that changes yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is measured by reading the absorbance at 450 nm which is quantitatively proportional to the amount of biotinylated Hydroxyproline captured in the well and inversely proportional to the amount of Hydroxyproline which was contained in the sample or standard.
