Product details

Human Parvalbumin ELISA kit (ab282293) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Parvalbumin protein in human serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, and tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Parvalbumin with 1.1 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.

Parvalbumin alpha is a calcium-binding protein encoded by the PVALB gene. Parvalbumin is a small, 110- amino acid long, protein that contains three EF hand motifs, making it structurally related to calmodulin and troponin-C. Parvalbumin is found intracellularly in fast-contracting muscles where it is involved in muscle fiber relaxation. Also found in neural tissues, parvalbumin is present in GABAergic interneurons and is expressed predominantly by chandelier and basket cells. Serum parvalbumin is thought to be an indicator of muscle disease.

Supplementary information

Parvalbumin sometimes referred to as PV is a calcium-binding protein approximately 12 kDa in size. It is recognized for its roles in muscle and neuronal tissues. Within the nervous system parvalbumin is prominently expressed in fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons while in muscle tissues it is present in fast-twitch muscle fibers. Other popular descriptors include anti PV and parvalbumins. These proteins play important roles in the regulation of cellular calcium levels.
Biological function summary

Parvalbumin helps modulate calcium ion concentration which is key in muscle relaxation and neurotransmission. It acts by buffering calcium ions and is not part of a larger protein complex. By impacting calcium transients parvalbumin affects processes like synaptic plasticity and the rapid contractions of muscle fibers. This is especially significant in the brain where rapid neuronal firing is needed and in muscles where quick recovery is essential.

Pathways

Parvalbumin is intimately linked with calcium signaling pathways as well as the regulation of muscle contraction. It ensures proper calcium ion homeostasis thereby aiding muscle relaxation after contraction. In the nervous system calbindin proteins parallel some of parvalbumin's functions participating in calcium ion buffering and modulation of neuron excitability. The balanced action of these proteins helps maintain cellular functions in both neurons and muscles.

Insufficient parvalbumin expression may link to epilepsy and schizophrenia. Deficits in this protein could interfere with normal neurotransmission and muscle relaxation cycles. Parvalbumin deficiency influences neurotransmitter release affecting synaptic transmission which may exacerbate symptoms in these conditions. In disease mechanisms proteins such as calbindin may indirectly relate with parvalbumin showing similar patterns of dysregulation and compensating for its absence in calcium handling.

Product protocols

Target data

In muscle, parvalbumin is thought to be involved in relaxation after contraction. It binds two calcium ions.
