Competitive ELISA - Anti-Testosterone antibody [EPPTX-R4] - BSA and Azide free (AB222403)

Goat anti-rabbit IgG was coated onto a 96-well plate. Serial dilution of Testosterone (0, 6.4, 16, 40, 100, 250, 625 pg/ml) was added (25 μl). This was followed by adding 50 μl HRP-conjugated Testosterone and 3-5 ng/ml of ab215529 (50 μl) into each well. Plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature by shaking. After washing, 125 μl Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate was added and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature for color development.Then 125 ul of stopping solution (acid solution) was dispensed and OD was read at 450 nm on a microplate reader within 10 minutes..

Supplementary information

Testosterone also known as 17β-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one is a steroid hormone with a molecular mass of approximately 288.42 Da. It is primarily synthesized in the testes but also in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands. Mechanically testosterone operates by binding to the androgen receptor a member of the nuclear receptor family which then modulates gene expression. Its synthesis is stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) which is released from the anterior pituitary gland.
Biological function summary

Testosterone plays an important role in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass and the growth of body hair. It's also part of the steroid hormone biosynthesis pathway influencing the production of estradiol through the aromatase enzyme. Testosterone contributes to the maintenance of reproductive tissues and is important for the modulation of mood and cognitive functions.

Pathways

Testosterone is integral to the HPG (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal) axis where it exerts feedback control by inhibiting the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and LH. Moreover testosterone is essential in the androgen receptor signaling pathway. This pathway involves other proteins like dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a potent androgen converted from testosterone via the 5α-reductase enzyme.

Low levels of testosterone commonly known as 'Low T' are linked to conditions like hypogonadism and certain metabolic syndromes. Testosterone levels can influence the risk of osteoporosis as sustained low levels reduce bone density. Additionally increased or decreased testosterone levels can pose risks to cardiovascular health with the target interacting with proteins such as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in these contexts.
