The G3BP-1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect G3BP-1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of G3BP-1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on G3BP-1.
Qualitative determination of G3BP-1 concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, G3BP-1 is captured by G3BP-1-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | G3BP-1: an hnRNA-binding protein and endoribonuclease that participates in the Ras signal transduction pathway. A regulated effector of stress granule (SG) assembly. SGs are involved in mRNA sorting in the storing of untranslated mRNAs. Cleaves exclusively between cytosine and adenine and cleaves MYC mRNA preferentially at the 3'-UTR. ATP- and magnesium-dependent helicase. Unwinds preferentially partial DNA and RNA duplexes having a 17 bp annealed portion and either a hanging 3' tail or hanging tails at both 5'- and 3'-ends. Unwinds DNA/DNA, RNA/DNA, and RNA/RNA substrates with comparable efficiency. Acts unidirectionally by moving in the 5' to 3' direction along the bound single-stranded DNA. Binds to the SH3 domain of Ras GTPase-activating protein (RasGAP) in proliferating cells but not in quiescent cells. Cytoplasmic in proliferating cells, can be recruited to the plasma membrane in exponentially growing cells. Cytosolic and partially nuclear in resting cells. Recruited to SGs upon either arsenite or high temperature treatment. RasGAP-dependent phosphorylation of S149 induces a conformational change that prevents self-association. Dephosphorylation after HRAS activation is required for stress granule assembly. S149 phosphorylation induces partial nuclear localization. A component of a TAU mRNP complex, Interacts with USP10, and may regulate it. |

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes one of the DNA-unwinding enzymes which prefers partially unwound 3'-tailed substrates and can also unwind partial RNA/DNA and RNA/RNA duplexes in an ATP-dependent fashion. This enzyme is a member of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA-binding proteins and is also an element of the Ras signal transduction pathway. It binds specifically to the Ras-GTPase-activating protein by associating with its SH3 domain. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
