Features & Benefits
Human Actin-like protein 6A (ACTL6A) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human ACTL6A. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human ACTL6A and analogues was observed.
Background
ACTL6A encodes a family member of actin-related proteins (ARPs), The 429-amino acid BAF53 protein shares extensive amino acid homology with actin and the yeast actin-related proteins Act2 and Act3. In addition, sequences encoding BAF53 homologs were identified in yeast and C. elegans. Two of 3 amino acids (asp11, gln137, and asp154 in actin) involved in tight calcium binding are conserved (asp17 and asp171 in BAF53).
In contrast with the overall homology to actin, the ATP-binding pocket in actin is poorly conserved in BAF53, suggesting that BAF53 may not have ATP-binding activity. A comparison of the sequences of actin family members revealed that BAF53 is most related to Arp3, which is involved in Listeria motility.
This Actin-like protein 6A (ACTL6A) ELISA kit is validated for use with Cell culture supernatants, Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids. Samples should be collected, processed, and stored correctly to preserve analyte integrity — avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and centrifuge to remove particulates before use. Dilute samples exceeding the kit's detection range using the supplied assay diluent. Hemolytic, icteric, or lipemic samples may affect assay performance and should be tested with caution.
This is a sandwich ELISA kit employing an HRP (horseradish peroxidase)-conjugated secondary antibody paired with a TMB (3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) colorimetric substrate. In the sandwich format, the target analyte Actin-like protein 6A (ACTL6A) captured on the microplate surface is detected by the conjugated antibody, generating a colorimetric signal proportional to analyte concentration. The reaction is stopped and absorbance measured at 450 nm on a standard microplate reader.
The complete protocol, from sample addition to final plate reading, requires approximately 3–5 hours. This includes two incubation periods (analyte binding and detection antibody steps), intermediate wash cycles to remove unbound material, 15–30 minutes of TMB substrate development, and final stop-solution addition before absorbance reading. Exact timing will vary with experience level and the number of samples processed in parallel.
Required equipment: (1) a microplate spectrophotometer capable of reading absorbance at 450 nm (reference wavelength 540–570 nm recommended for background correction); (2) precision single-channel or multichannel pipettes; (3) a plate washer or multichannel aspirator; (4) a microcentrifuge for sample clarification; and (5) a 37°C incubator or stable room-temperature environment. No fluorescence or luminescence reader is required — standard colorimetric plate readers are fully compatible with this kit.
This ELISA kit is formally validated for Human. Cross-reactivity with species not listed in the specification has not been independently characterized. Variability in protein sequence homology across species means that performance in unlisted species cannot be guaranteed without additional validation. For cross-species detection requirements or non-standard sample matrices, please contact BioHippo support or refer to the manufacturer's technical team for guidance.
