Total P53 ELISA Kit (Tumor Protein 53)

INTENDED USE

Human total P53 ELISA kit is intended for analysing in vitro quantitative concentrations of tumor protein 53 (total P53) in human tissue homogenates, serum, biological fluids and plasma. This assay has a minimum detection limit of 46.875 pg/ml.

BACKGROUND

P53 which can also be called; tumor protein 53, cellular tumor antigen p53, phosphoprotein p53, transforming related protein p53 and tumor suppressor p53, in humans has several domains, is 393 amino acids long and runs as a 53 kDa protein on SDS-PAGE. It is essentially a tumor suppressor protein which in human is encoded by the TP53 gene and can be found mapped to chromosome 17. It can be activated in response to myriad stressors, such as oxidative stress, DNA damaging agents (UV, IR and many other chemical agents), osmotic shock, deregulated oncogene expression and ribonucleotide depletion.

The P53 gene is frequently identified as a mutated gene (greater than 50%) in human cancers and this has led to associating the gene to playing a crucial role in preventing cancer formation. It plays vital roles in apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, genomic stability and a number of mechanisms that are involved in anti-cancer functions.
