The Myosin regulatory light chain 2 (Phospho-Ser18) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Myosin regulatory light chain 2 protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Myosin regulatory light chain 2 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Myosin regulatory light chain 2 phosphorylation.
Qualitative determination of Myosin regulatory light chain 2 (Phospho-Ser18) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Myosin regulatory light chain 2 (Phospho-Ser18) is captured by Myosin regulatory light chain 2 (Phospho-Ser18)-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: | MRLC1: Myosin regulatory subunit that plays an important role in regulation of both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cell contractile activity via its phosphorylation. Implicated in cytokinesis, receptor capping, and cell locomotion. Myosin is an hexamer of 2 heavy chains and 4 light chains. Smooth muscle tissues and in some, but not all, nonmuscle cells. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Contractile; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q11.23 Cellular Component: cytosol; muscle myosin complex; stress fiber; Z disc Molecular Function:calcium ion binding; myosin heavy chain binding; structural constituent of muscle Biological Process: axon guidance; ephrin receptor signaling pathway; muscle contraction; regulation of muscle contraction; small GTPase mediated signal transduction |
| NCBI Summary: | Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of two heavy chains and four light chains. The protein encoded by this gene is a myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contraction by modulating the ATPase activity of myosin heads. The encoded protein binds calcium and is activated by myosin light chain kinase. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |

| 1. | Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells. |
| 2. | Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2. |
