The Mouse Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (ACTA2) ELISA Kit is a specialized tool designed for the precise measurement of alpha smooth muscle actin levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit boasts exceptional sensitivity and accuracy, ensuring dependable and consistent results for various research needs. Alpha smooth muscle actin, encoded by the ACTA2 gene, is a key protein involved in regulating smooth muscle contraction and cell motility. Its expression is essential in processes such as wound healing, tissue repair, and fibrosis.
Dysregulation of alpha smooth muscle actin has been linked to various diseases, including fibrotic disorders, vascular diseases, and certain types of cancer, highlighting its importance as a biomarker for disease studies and therapeutic development. With its advanced technology and reliable performance, the Mouse Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (ACTA2) ELISA Kit is an invaluable resource for researchers looking to explore the role of alpha smooth muscle actin in physiological and pathological processes in mouse models.

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
