Sandwich ELISA - Rat Uromodulin ELISA Kit (AB274405)
Interpolated concentrations of native Uromodulin in rat serum, plasma and urine samples.
The concentrations of Uromodulin were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Uromodulin standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows : serum 50%, plasma - heparin 50%, plasma - citrate 100%, plasma - EDTA 100%, and urine 1 : 2,000. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Uromodulin concentration was determined to be 3.33 ng/mL in serum, 2.22 ng/mL in plasma – heparin, 1.80 ng/mL in plasma – citrate, 2.09 ng/mL in plasma - EDTA and 1,598.60 ng/mL in urine.

Product details
Rat Uromodulin ELISA kit (ab274405) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Rat Uromodulin protein in serum, plasmas and urine. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Rat Uromodulin with 6.9 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.
Uromodulin, also known as Tamms-Horsfell protein or uromucoid, plays two distinct but important roles in biology. In the kidney, it is a key protein which forms the water-tight, yet ion-permeable, barrier that allows for proper maintaining proper serum salt balance and reabsorption. Once cleaved and released into urine, uromodulin inhibits crystal formation in the urine. Defects in this gene have been linked to kidney disease and stone formation. The immunogen used to raise the antibodies for this kit comprise the mature c-terminal portion of this protein. The N-terminal domains involved in polymerization were excluded. This protein does not share high sequence identity in mouse or human samples (87.4 and 74.5%, respectively) and, therefore, are not expected to cross-react.

Biological function summary
Uromodulin plays a role in preventing urinary tract infections by inhibiting the adhesion of bacteria through its glycoprotein structure. It forms a gel-like layer in the urinary tract that traps pathogens. Uromodulin also participates in immune regulation serving as a modulator by interacting with immune cells. Additionally it influences renal handling of ions which impacts blood pressure regulation.
Pathways
Uromodulin is involved in pathways associated with water and salt balance in the kidneys. This protein interacts with NKCC2 the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter to mediate ion transport in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Uromodulin also connects to the renin-angiotensin system helping to regulate blood pressure by influencing sodium reabsorption and vascular functions.
