The Human Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (ACTA2) ELISA Kit is a precise and reliable tool for measuring levels of alpha smooth muscle actin in human samples including serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers superior sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and consistent results for a variety of research applications. Alpha smooth muscle actin is a key protein involved in regulating smooth muscle contraction and cell migration. Dysregulation of ACTA2 has been linked to various diseases and conditions, including cardiovascular disorders, fibrotic diseases, and smooth muscle cell differentiation.
Therefore, accurate measurement of ACTA2 levels can provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. The Human Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (ACTA2) ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for researchers studying smooth muscle biology, fibrosis, and cardiovascular health. With its high performance and ease of use, this kit is essential for advancing our understanding of ACTA2-related diseases and developing new treatment strategies.

Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Tissue Homogenate
