Product details
Human Insulin in vitro CatchPoint® SimpleStep ELISA® (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Insulin protein in human serum, plasma heparin, and plasma EDTA samples.
This CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA kit has been optimized for Molecular Devices Microplate Readers. Click here for a list of recommended Microplate Readers.
If using a Molecular Devices' plate reader supported by SoftMax® Pro software, a preconfigured protocol for these CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA Kits is available with all the protocol and analysis settings at www.softmaxpro.org
The CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. CatchPoint HRP Development Solution containing the Stoplight Red Substrate is added. During incubation, the substrate is catalyzed by HRP generating a fluorescent product. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured in a fluorescence plater reader at 530/570/590 nm Excitation/Cutoff/Emission.
Insulin is a highly conserved, secreted hormone essential for glucose metabolism. Produced by pancreatic beta cells, proinsulin is proteolyzed into an A and a B chain, which form a 6 kDa mature protein. Basal levels of insulin are continuously delivered into the bloodstream, and additional levels are secreted proportional to food ingestion. Insulin secretion is highly regulated, and dysregulation of insulin production or sensitivity results in Type 1 diabetes mellitus or Type 2 diabetes mellitus, respectively.

Biological function summary
Insulin influences several key metabolic processes by binding to its receptor a component of the insulin receptor substrate family. This triggers a cascade of events within cells promoting the uptake of glucose and converting it into energy. Insulin operates as a singular entity but plays a critical role in forming a complex with its receptor. This interaction triggers downstream effects that alter the activity of enzymes and transcription factors involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.
Pathways
Insulin is critical for the regulation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and the MAPK pathway. These pathways modulate processes such as cell growth proliferation and survival. Insulin interacts closely with other proteins in these pathways such as the insulin receptor substrate proteins and influences downstream proteins like AKT kinase which has a significant role in mediating the metabolic effects initiated by insulin binding.
