Product details
Abcam's Protein C Human in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Protein C in urine, saliva, milk, cell culture supernatant, cell lysate and tissue samples.
A Protein C specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a Protein C specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Protein C captured in plate.
The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Biological function summary
Protein C serves as an important regulator in the coagulation pathway. Upon activation it joins with a cofactor known as Protein S to form the activated Protein C complex which inactivates clotting factors Va and VIIIa. This inactivation leads to a reduction in thrombin formation thereby preventing excessive blood clotting. The activated C complex works efficiently on phospholipid surfaces such as those found on cellular membranes.
Pathways
Protein C activation is an important step in the anticoagulant pathway and works to balance the procoagulant actions of other factors. Protein C functions in tandem with proteins such as thrombin which transforms it into its active form when bound to thrombomodulin on the endothelial cell surface. The activated Protein C pathway ensures proper blood flow by preventing unchecked clot propagation and is intricately tied with pathways involving thrombin and factors Va and VIIIa.
