Features & Benefits
Human Prickle-like protein 2 (PRICKLE2) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human PRICKLE2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PRICKLE2 and analogues was observed.
Background
By searching an EST database for sequences similar to those of Drosophila and Xenopus Prickle, Katoh and Katoh (2003) identified human PRICKLE2. The deduced 844-amino acid protein contains an N-terminal PET domain followed by 3 LIM domains and a C-terminal prickle homology domain. PRICKLE2 shares 51.9% overall identity with PRICKLE1 and 79.3% identity within the N-terminal PET and LIM domains. EST database analysis revealed that PRICKLE1 and PRICKLE2 are coexpressed in brain, eye, and testis; additionally, PRICKLE2 is expressed in fetal brain, adult cartilage, pancreatic islet, gastric cancer, and uterine tumor.Katoh and Katoh (2003) determined that the PRICKLE2 gene contains at least 8 exons and that the 5-prime untranslated region is interrupted by intron 1.
This Prickle-like protein 2 (PRICKLE2) 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 Prickle-like protein 2 (PRICKLE2) 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.
