DGKD Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA

The DGKD Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a cutting-edge assay designed for the accurate detection of Diacylglycerol kinase delta (DGKD) levels in cell samples. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for reliable and reproducible results for a variety of research applications.DGKD is a key enzyme involved in lipid metabolism and cell signaling pathways, playing a crucial role in various cellular processes.

Dysregulation of DGKD has been associated with diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and developing potential therapeutic strategies.With its user-friendly protocol and robust performance, the DGKD Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is an essential tool for researchers looking to explore the role of DGKD in health and disease.

The DGKD Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect DGKD protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of DGKD in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on DGKD.

Qualitative determination of DGKD concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, DGKD is captured by DGKD-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.
Database Information:Gene ID: 8527, UniProt ID: Q16760, OMIM: 601826, Unigene: Hs.471675/Hs.610488
Gene Symbol:DGKD
Sub Type:None
UniProt Protein Function:DGKD: May function as signaling molecule. Belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
UniProt Protein Details:

Protein type:Lipid Metabolism - glycerophospholipid; Lipid Metabolism - glycerolipid; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Kinase, lipid; EC 2.7.1.107

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q37.1

Cellular Component: cytoplasm; plasma membrane

Molecular Function:diacylglycerol kinase activity; protein binding; protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity

Biological Process: diacylglycerol metabolic process; platelet activation; protein homooligomerization; response to organic substance; signal transduction

NCBI Summary:This gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme that phosphorylates diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidic acid. Diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid are two lipids that act as second messengers in signaling cascades. Their cellular concentrations are regulated by the encoded protein, and so it is thought to play an important role in cellular signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

*Note: Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.

StepProcedure
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.
3.Treat the cells as desired.
4.Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice.
5.Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells.
6.Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week.
7.Add 100 µL of Quenching Buffer and incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
8.Wash the plate 3 times with 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
9.Add 200 µL of Blocking Buffer and incubate for 1 hour at room temperature.
10. Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
11.Add 50 µL of 1x primary antibodies (Anti-DGKD Antibody and/or Anti-GAPDH Antibody) to the corresponding wells, cover with Parafilm and incubate for 16 hours (overnight) at 4°C. If the target expression is known to be high, incubate for 2 hours at room temperature.
12.Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
13.Add 50 µL of 1x secondary antibodies (HRP-Conjugated AntiRabbit IgG Antibody or HRP-Conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Antibody) to corresponding wells and incubate for 1.5 hours at room temperature.
14.Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
15.Add 50 µL of Ready-to-Use Substrate to each well and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
16.Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well and read OD at 450 nm immediately using the microplate reader.

(Additional Crystal Violet staining may be performed if desired – details of this may be found in the kit technical manual.)
