Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Urokinase also known as urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease with a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including the kidneys liver and blood vessels. Urokinase initially forms as pro-urokinase an inactive precursor that can convert into the active enzyme. Researchers often use assays like the direct assay to measure urokinase activity due to its role in breaking down fibrin and modulating cell adhesion and migration.

Biological function summary

Something particularly interesting about urokinase is its role in converting plasminogen to plasmin a critical enzyme in the process of fibrinolysis. Moreover it is part of a larger enzymatic complex involving the urokinase receptor (uPAR) which localizes plasminogen activation to cell surfaces. This complex mediates extracellular matrix degradation aiding in important cellular processes like tissue remodeling and wound healing.

Pathways

Urokinase plays a critical role in the fibrinolytic pathway which involves the breakdown of blood clots. It also interacts with the extracellular matrix pathway by activating plasminogen which can degrade matrix components. In these pathways urokinase closely interacts with proteins such as plasmin and its inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) which regulate the activity and localization of proteolytic events.

Urokinase is strongly linked to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and cancer metastasis. Its overexpression or dysregulation often leads to excessive tissue degradation influencing metastasis progression. Urokinase is connected to the urokinase receptor (uPAR) in cancer facilitating cancer cell invasion and migration. Understanding its behavior in these contexts is critical for developing therapeutic strategies and targeting treatments against these diseases.
