Sample Volume: 60 µL/sample, single point
Product Background
The PIP3 Mass ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA designed for the sensitive detection of PIP3 from cell samples.
For detection of PIP3, PIP3 is extracted from millions of cells and incubated with a specialized PIP3 detector protein. This mixture is then added to a PIP3-coated microplate, where competitive binding occurs. Detection is achieved using a peroxidase-linked secondary reagent along with a colorimetric substrate. The resulting colorimetric signal inversely correlates with the amount of PIP3 extracted from the samples.
PIP3 production by class I PI3-kinases (PI3-K) plays a crucial role in various cell signaling pathways. Traditionally, measuring PI3-K activity involved labor-intensive methods using 32P-labeled substrates and thin-layer chromatography. Our PIP3 Mass ELISA Kit simplifies this process, allowing researchers to accurately determine PI3-K activity through a standard ELISA format—eliminating the need for radioactivity and chromatography.
