Product details
Mouse Insulin ELISA Kit ab277390 is a sandwich ELISA to measure mouse Insulin (mouse ins) in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant with a sensitivity of 5 µIU/mL.
How the assay works
This assay employs an antibody specific for Mouse Insulin coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Mouse Insulin present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-Mouse Insulin antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Mouse Insulin bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
Assay specificity
This assay detects mouse, human, rat, porcine and bovine Insulin.

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.
