Application: ELISA

Purpose: The AssayMax™ Human GOT2 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) Kit is designed for detection of GOT2 in human plasma, serum, saliva, milk, CSF, and cell culture samples. This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human GOT2 in approximately 4 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human GOT2 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. GOT2 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human GOT2, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Assay Procedure:

Prepare all reagents, standard solutions, and samples as instructed. Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. The assay is performed at room temperature (20-25 °C). Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame and return them immediately to the foil pouch with desiccants inside. Reseal the pouch securely to minimize exposure to water vapor and store in a vacuum desiccator. Add 50 l of Human GOT2 Standard or sample to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 2 hours. Start the timer after the last addition. Wash five times with 200 l of Wash Buffer manually. Invert the plate each time and decant the contents, hit 4-5 times on absorbent material to completely remove the liquid. If using a machine, wash six times with 300 l of Wash Buffer and then invert the plate, decanting the contents, hit 4-5 times on absorbent material to completely remove the liquid. Add 50 l of Biotinylated Human GOT2 Antibody to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 1 hour. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 l of SP Conjugate to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for 30 minutes. Turn on the microplate reader and set up the program in advance. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 l of Chromogen Substrate to each well. Gently tap plate to thoroughly coat the wells. Break any bubbles that may have formed. Incubate for 15 minutes or until the optimal blue color density develops. Add 50 l of Stop Solution to each well. The color will change from blue to yellow. Gently tap plate to ensure thorough mixing. Break any bubbles that may have formed. 6 Read the absorbance on a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm immediately. If wavelength correction is available, subtract readings at 570 nm from those at 450 nm to correct optical imperfections. Otherwise, read the plate at 450 nm only. Please note that some unstable black particles may be generated at high concentration points after stopping the reaction for about 10 minutes, which will reduce the readings.

Calculation of Results:

• Calculate the mean value of the duplicate or triplicate readings for each standard and sample.
• To generate a standard curve, plot the graph using the standard concentrations on the x-axis and the corresponding mean 450 nm absorbance (OD) on the y-axis. The best-fit line can be determined by regression analysis using log-log or four-parameter logistic curve-fit.
• Determine the unknown sample concentration from the standard curve and multiply the value by the dilution factor.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Background: Mitochondrial glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 2 (GOT2), also called mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAspAT) and fatty acid-binding protein, belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. GOT is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme, which exists in cytoplasmic GOT1 and inner-membrane mitochondrial GOT2 forms. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and in the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes show close homology (1-2). GOT2 is a dimer containing two identical subunits, each 45 kDa with about 401 amino acids (3). GOT2 acetylation stimulates the malate-aspartate NADH shuttle activity and oxidative protection. It is also involved in cell proliferation and energy production (4).
