Description
Rat ATF6 (Activating Transcription Factor 6) ELISA Kit
The Rat ATF6 (Activating Transcription Factor 6) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the quantitative detection of ATF6 levels in rat samples such as serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and reproducible results for a variety of research applications.ATF6 is a key transcription factor involved in the unfolded protein response pathway, regulating the expression of genes that are crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Dysregulation of ATF6 has been implicated in various diseases, including diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target.
By using the Rat ATF6 ELISA Kit, researchers can gain valuable insights into the role of ATF6 in disease pathogenesis and identify potential therapeutic strategies for managing related conditions. This kit provides a reliable tool for studying ATF6 levels in rat models and advancing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases.

This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat ATF6. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Rat ATF6 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Rat ATF6, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by adding Stop Solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Rat ATF6. The concentration of Rat ATF6 in samples can be calculated by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
| UniProt Protein Function: | Transmembrane glycoprotein of the endoplasmic reticulum that functions as a transcription activator and initiates the unfolded protein response (UPR) during endoplasmic reticulum stress. Cleaved upon ER stress, the N-terminal processed cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-6 alpha translocates to the nucleus where it activates transcription of genes involved in the UPR. Binds DNA on the 5'-CCAC[GA]-3'half of the ER stress response element (ERSE) (5'-CCAAT-N(9)-CCAC[GA]-3') and of ERSE II (5'-ATTGG-N-CCACG-3'). Binding to ERSE requires binding of NF-Y to ERSE. Could also be involved in activation of transcription by the serum response factor. May play a role in foveal development and cone function in the retina. |

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e. g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.
