Notes
Human ALK ELISA kit (ab283550) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human ALK protein in human cell culture extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human ALK with 0.1 ng/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Tyrosine kinase receptor (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase encoded by the gene ALK. ALK is involved in genesis and differentiation of the central and peripheral nervous systems where it is expressed. ALK induces tyrosine phosphorylation of CBL, FRS2, IRS1 and SHC1, as well as of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1 after activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.

- Activity summary
The Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase commonly referred to as ALK is a receptor tyrosine kinase known for its role in cell signaling. It is sometimes called CD246. ALK has a molecular mass of approximately 180 kDa. This protein finds expression predominantly in the central and peripheral nervous system with prominence in neural tissue during development. The ALK protein belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily exhibiting kinase activity that promotes signal transduction processes associated with growth and differentiation.
- Biological function summary
ALK influences cell growth survival and differentiation playing a significant role during the development of the nervous system. As part of its biological activity the ALK protein can become a component of larger signaling complexes participating as an important activator or mediator. Evidence suggests ALK's involvement in neuronal differentiation and synaptogenesis. Its activity impacts intracellular pathways consequently modulating biological processes relevant to neural tissue and oncogenesis.
- Pathways
ALK acts within the MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. These pathways enable the transduction of signals from the cell surface to the nucleus influencing cellular outcomes such as proliferation and survival. In these pathways ALK interacts with various other proteins including GRB2 and PI3K which further facilitate downstream signaling. Proper functioning of these pathways is essential to maintaining cellular homeostasis and development.
- Associated diseases and disorders
ALK has a significant relationship with certain types of cancer such as non-small cell lung carcinoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Genetic alterations in ALK such as translocations or mutations can lead to the uncontrolled activation of its kinase activity resulting in oncogenic transformation. In these contexts the ALK protein often interacts with EML4 in lung cancer through a fusion forming an oncogenic driver. Targeting ALK with anti-ALK antibodies or small molecule inhibitors has emerged as a therapeutic strategy to manage these malignancies.

Sandwich ELISA - Human ALK ELISA Kit (ab283550)
Example of human ALK standard curve in Sample Diluent 1X Cell Extraction Buffer PTR.
The ALK standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data values are shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Sandwich ELISA - Human ALK ELISA Kit (ab283550)
Interpolated concentrations of native ALK in human sy5y and based on a 250 μg/mL extract load.
The concentrations of ALK were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the ALK standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean ALK concentration was determined to be 10.3 ng/mL in SY5Y cell extract.
