Product details

Human Folate Binding Protein (FBP) ELISA kit (ab277710) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Folate Binding Protein (FBP) protein in human serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, urine, salive, and milk samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Folate Binding Protein (FBP) with 3.08 pg/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 (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Folate Binding Protein is a receptor involved in update of folic acid and reduced folates. FBP is primarily expressed on epithelial cells and is essential during early embryogenesis. Upregulation of FBP is seen in some cancers and can be a marker for ovarian cancer.

Supplementary information

Folate Binding Protein (FBP) also known as FolR1 protein or FOLR-1 is a significant protein with a mass of about 32-38 kDa. It binds folate with high affinity and facilitates its transport into the cell. FBP can be found in various tissues with notable expression in the placenta kidney and certain epithelial tissues. The protein mediates folate uptake by capturing folates in the extracellular matrix and channeling them through receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Biological function summary

FBP plays a critical role in cellular growth and replication by ensuring sufficient folate supply. It belongs to a family of receptors not forming part of a larger protein complex. FBP's primary function is delivering folate an important B vitamin which acts as a one-carbon donor in DNA synthesis and repair. Optimal folate transport by FBP supports cellular functions particularly in rapidly dividing cells.

Pathways

FBP significantly contributes to the folate-mediated one-carbon metabolic pathway critical for nucleotide biosynthesis. This pathway interconnects with the homocysteine remethylation cycle. FBP associates with other enzymes such as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) which also play key roles in these pathways. These interactions ensure efficient folate metabolism and maintenance of normal cellular functions.

FBP's relation to cancer and neural tube defects is well documented. Overexpression of FBP has been observed in various cancers including ovarian and breast cancer which indicates its potential role in tumor progression. In neural tube defects altered folate transport due to variations in FBP expression impacts neural development. FBP connects to other markers like HER2 in cancer which may form part of a therapeutic target strategy.

Product protocols

Target data

Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate analogs into the interior of cells (PubMed : 19074442, PubMed : 23851396, PubMed : 23934049, PubMed : 2527252, PubMed : 8033114, PubMed : 8567728). Has high affinity for folate and folic acid analogs at neutral pH (PubMed : 23851396, PubMed : 23934049, PubMed : 2527252, PubMed : 8033114, PubMed : 8567728). Exposure to slightly acidic pH after receptor endocytosis triggers a conformation change that strongly reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their release (PubMed : 8567728). Required for normal embryonic development and normal cell proliferation (By similarity).
