Product overview
Calbindin in vitro SimpleStep ELISA® (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Calbindin protein in human tissue extracts and urine.
The SimpleStep ELISA® employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. TMB substrate is added and during incubation is catalyzed by HRP, generating blue coloration. This reaction is then stopped by addition of Stop Solution completing any color change from blue to yellow. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured at 450 nm. Optionally, instead of the endpoint reading, development of TMB can be recorded kinetically at 600 nm.
Sensitivity:
- Samples in 1X Cell Extraction Buffer PTR: 3.7 pg/mL
- Samples in Sample Diluent NS: 9.1 pg/mL

Notes
Calbindin is a 260 amino acid protein encoded by the gene CALB1. Also, referred to as Calbindin D28, D-28K, and Vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, CALB1 belongs to a family of calcium binding proteins which includes parvalbumin, calmodulin, calretinin S100G, and troponin C. CALB1 contains five EF-hand domains, and four calcium binding sites, although two sites have lost binding capacity for calcium. CALB1 functions in the absorption of calcium in the kidney and intestine, and in neural tissue CALB1 is involved in neural function by modulating calcium channel activity. Expressed in the distal tubule and in the proximal part of the collecting kidney ducts, CALB1 is thought to be a kidney injury marker.

Interpolated concentrations of native calbindin in human urineThe concentrations of calbindin were measured in duplicate, interpolated from the calbindin standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted sample was at 10%. The interpolated dilution factor-corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean calbindin concentration was determined to be 3.62 ng/mL in urine.

Interpolated concentrations of native calbindin in human brain tissue extract based on a 1,000 µg/mL extract load.The concentrations of calbindin were measured in duplicate, interpolated from the calbindin standard curve, and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor-corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean calbindin concentration was determined to be 733 ng/mL of human brain tissue.
