PTTG ELISA Kits

PTTG (Pituitary Tumor Transforming Gene) ELISA Kits are specialized immunoassay tools designed for the quantitative detection of PTTG protein levels in various biological samples, such as serum, plasma, and tissue lysates. PTTG, also known as securin, is a protein involved in the regulation of cell division and is associated with tumorigenesis and cancer progression. It plays a critical role in maintaining genomic stability by preventing premature sister chromatid separation during mitosis. 

Content:

PTTG ELISA Kits utilize a sandwich-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay format for precise detection and quantification. The assay typically involves the following steps:

• Capture Phase: The 96-well ELISA plate is pre-coated with capture antibodies specific to the PTTG protein. Samples containing PTTG bind to these immobilized antibodies.
• Detection Phase: A biotinylated or labeled detection antibody, specific for another epitope on the PTTG protein, is added to form a sandwich complex.
• Signal Amplification: An enzyme-conjugated secondary antibody, often linked to horseradish peroxidase (HRP), binds to the detection antibody. The addition of a substrate solution results in a colorimetric reaction.
• Quantification: The absorbance is measured using an ELISA plate reader, with the color intensity directly proportional to the concentration of PTTG in the sample.

Application of PTTG ELISA Kits:

PTTG ELISA Kits are widely used in research and clinical studies to explore the role of PTTG in various cellular and pathological contexts. Applications include:

• Cancer Research: Overexpression of PTTG is often observed in different types of cancers, including pituitary adenomas, thyroid carcinomas, and colorectal cancers. Measuring PTTG levels helps in assessing tumor progression, aggressiveness, and prognosis. PTTG is also studied as a potential therapeutic target in oncology.
• Endocrine and Pituitary Disorders: PTTG plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of pituitary tumors. Research involving PTTG ELISA Kits can help in understanding the molecular basis of pituitary and other hormone-related tumors.
• Molecular and Cellular Biology: PTTG is studied in various cellular signaling pathways that influence cell proliferation, apoptosis, and DNA repair mechanisms. Measuring PTTG levels is essential for research into how these processes are regulated under normal and pathological conditions.

The high sensitivity and specificity of PTTG ELISA Kits make them valuable tools for studying PTTG's involvement in tumor biology, cell cycle regulation, and endocrine function, contributing to advancements in cancer research and cellular biochemistry.
