  • Product overview

    Abcam’s Human ACE (CD143) in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate quantitative measurement of Human ACE (CD143) in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (heparin) and saliva.


    An ACE (CD143) specific goat polyclonal antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells and incubated. A biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat, specific for ACE (CD143) is then added followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. TMB is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the Human ACE (CD143) amount of sample captured in plate.

  • Function

    Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.
  • Tissue specificity

    Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in lung, kidney, heart, gastrointestinal system and prostate. Isoform Testis-specific is expressed in spermatocytes and adult testis.
  • Involvement in disease

    Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]: A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
    Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430]: Autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).

    Asked on Jul 12 2016

    Answer

    For ab119577 Human ACE ELISA Kit, this is tested and covered by the Abpromise guarantee for tissue samples. However, I am sorry we have no testing data specifically for muscle samples. Therefore, the sample preparation will need to be individually optimized.

    I have copied below a sample preparation protocol which I hope will be helpful:

    Tissue Homogenate Preparation:

    Rinse tissue with PBS to remove excess blood.
    Chop tissue into 1-2 mm pieces on ice in ice-cold buffer, preferably in the presence of protease inhibitors.
    Place the tissue in micro-centrifuge tubes and dip them into liquid nitrogen to snap freeze.
    Keep samples at -80°C for later use or keep on ice for immediate homogenization.
    Prepare the extraction buffer. It can be prepared ahead of time and stored at 4°C.

    100 mM Tris, pH 7.4

    150 mM NaCl

    1 mM EGTA

    1 mM EDTA

    1% Triton X-100 0.5%

    0.5% sodium deoxycholate

    Immediately before use, the extraction buffer must be supplemented with the following to generate a complete extraction buffer.
    Phosphatase inhibitor cocktail [as directed by manufacturer]
    Protease inhibitor cocktail [as directed by manufacturer]
    PMSF (Phenyl Methyl Sulfonyl Floride) to 1 mM


    For every 5 mg of tissue, add 300 µL of complete extraction buffer to the tube and homogenize.
    Rinse the blade of the homogenizer 2X with 300 µL extraction buffer.
    Place the sample on a shaker at 4°C for 2 hours.
    Centrifuge the sample at 13,000 rpm and 4°C for 20 min.
    Assay immediately or aliquot supernatant (soluble protein extract) and hold at -80°C (Avoid freeze/thaw cycles

    For suggestions to help with optimization, please see the protocol booklet provided in the link on the online datasheet, page 11.

    https://www.abcam.com/ps/products/119/ab119577/documents/ab119577%20ACE%20(CD143)%20Human%20ELISA%20Kit%20v2%20(website).pdf

    General Sample information:

    The user needs to estimate the concentration of the target protein in the sample and select the correct dilution factor so that the diluted target protein concentration falls near the middle of the linear regime in the standard curve.
    Dilute the samples using the provided Sample Diluent Buffer. The following is a guideline for sample dilution. Several trials may be necessary to determine the optimal dilution factor. The sample must be thoroughly mixed with the Diluent buffer before assaying.

    High target protein concentration (100 - 1,000 ng/mL). The working dilution is 1:100. i.e. Add 1 μL sample into 99 μL Sample Diluent Buffer


    Medium target protein concentration (10 - 100 ng/mL). The working dilution is 1:10. i.e. Add 10 μL sample into 90 μL Sample Diluent Buffer

    Low target protein concentration (156 - 10,000 pg/mL). The working dilution is 1:2. i.e. Add 50 μL sample to 50 μL Sample Diluent Buffer

    Very Low target protein concentration (≤ 156 pg/mL). No dilution necessary, or the working dilution is 1:2.


     
    I hope this will be helpful and am happy to answer any further questions you have.

    Asked on Jul 11 2016

    Answer

    I can now confirm that the antibodies used in the kit are Ace specific, and these should not be cross reacting with ACE2 protein.
    I have also done a quick sequence compatibility search between Ace and Ace2 protein, the sequences don’t show high homology therefore the antibodies used in kit should not be cross reacting with Ace2.

    Answer

    Vielen Dank für Ihre Antworten.Leider kann ich nicht bestimmen, woher das Problem mit diesem Kit kommen könnte. Ich werde Ihnen deshalb gerne dieses Kit ersetzen - entweder mit einem neuen kostenlosen Kit oder mit einer Gutschrift/Rückerstattung. Es tut mir leid, dass Sie Probleme mit diesemKit hatten. Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, wie Sie vorgehen möchten.

    Ich kann in diesem Moment nicht sagen, ob das Kit welches Sie bekommen haben fehlerhaft ist, oder ob es nicht kompatibel ist mit Urinproben. Unserer Meinung nach, sollte dieses Kit auch mit Urinproben funktionieren, wir haben es jedoch nicht explizit getestet. Vielleicht hat es im Urin eine Substanz, die mit demELISA interferieren könnte - welche dies sein könnte, weiss ich jedoch nicht. Falls Sie als Ersatz ein neues Kit wählen, wäre dies natürlich auch durch unsere Garantie abgedeckt. Sollten Sie wieder keine Resultate mit Urinproben haben, würden wir jedoch denken, dass Urinproben ungeeignet wären. In diesem Falle, könnten wir Ihnen dieses Kit wieder ersetzen, jedoch würden wir Sie auch bitten, uns auch eine Abreview einzureichen, sodass wir dann diese Information mit den anderen Kunden teilen können. Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, falls Sie Fragen haben.

    Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Kooperation und freue mich wieder von Ihnen zu hören.

    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
    wir haben gestern einen Human ACE ELISA von ihrer Firma durchgeführt,
    und die Ergebnisse sind mehr als dubios. Wir haben Urin verwendet,
    einmal verdünnt (1:10) und unverdünnt.
    Bei ganz vielen Proben hat die Doppelbestimmung nicht geklappt, das
    trifft auch für eine Standardprobe zu.
    Wir führen seit vielen Jahren erfolgreich ELISAs durch, so dass wir
    durchaus mit der Technik vertraut sind. Entsprechend irrritiert bin ich
    aufgrund der Ergebnisse, und habe überhaupt keine Erklärung dafür.

    Vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage und Ihre Geduld, während ich mit dem Labor in Kontakt war.

    Es tut mir leid, dass Sie Probleme mit diesem Kit von uns hatten. In der Tat sind die Daten ziemlich variabel. Sogar die Duplikate sind sehr weit auseinander teilweise. Auch der Hintergrund ist hoch. Wir denken daher, dass die Daten, welche in diesem Experiment gewonnen wurden,nicht zuverlässig sind. Nach der Diskussion mit dem Labor, möchte ich die folgenden Punkte ansprechen. Falls wir das Problem nicht zusammen lösen können, und das Kitfehlerhaft/beschädigt sein sollte,kann ich Ihnen versichern, dass wirIhnen dieses Kit auch ersetzen oder rückerstatten werden.

    Hier die Tipps/Angriffspunkte zurVerbesserung der Resultate:

    1.)Bei welcher Temperature haben Siedie Inkubation vorgenommen?

    Asked on Jul 30 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    I have been in touch with the development group regarding finding a conversion factor for converting to internation units of ACE. As this product measures total ACE amounts against a known recombinant standard the data from this assay will correspond to the known amount of ACE standard in pg/ml. Although both the development lab and I have attempted to find a conversion factor for this, most databases use nanokatals or other activity measurements to convert to U/L. This would be an inaccurate conversion for the data type presented in this assay. We wish to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

    Asked on May 09 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    EDTA is not recommended as an anticoagulant because of its chelating properties. It may capture Zn ions from the ACE protein and cause changes in the structure that could inhibit antibody binding and lead to reduced or undetectable signal. In theory, you could add some soluble Zn to the samples to neutralize the EDTA and then use heparin as an anticoagulant, but we have not tested this in house.

    I hope this helps, please let me know if you need any additional information or assistance.

    Gracias por contactarnos.

    Mi compañera de Servicio al Cliente me ha remitido tu correo.

    Nuestros productos se envían en bloques de hielo como medida simplemente preventiva, para mantenerlos a una temperatura constante (salvo que por especificaciones concretas haya que enviarlos a -20C, que en ese caso se envía en hielo seco).

    En principio ninguno de los componentes del kit se ha debido degradar por el hecho de no haber llegado a 4C. Los anticuerpos son estables hasta una semana a temperatura ambiente, el estándar esta liofilizado, por lo que no ha podido verse afectado por la temperatura ambiente, y el resto de soluciones son estables también a temperatura ambiente, siempre que sea por un periodo de tiempo corto.

    Lo que sí es imprescindible es que una vez recibido el kit, éste se guarde a 4C si se va a usar frecuentemente, o a -20C si se pretende guardarlo durante mayor tiempo.

    Así pues, yo os recomiendo que utilicéis el kit normalmente, y en caso de tener el mas mínimo problema os animo a que nos contactéis de inmediato. Todos los productos de Abcam tienen una garantía de 6 meses, por lo que en caso de no funcionar como se especifica en la datasheet éste será reemplazado o reembolsado.

    Espero haber resuelto vuestras dudas, en caso contrario, por favor, no dudéis en volver a contactarnos.
