Summary
Proguanylin, the 116-amino acid prohormone, is a bioactive form of human guanylin that acts on intestinal guanylate cyclase, thereby regulating intestinal fluid and elektrolyte transport through the second messenger, cyclic GMP (cGMP). The cGMP increase inhibits salt absorption and stimulates chloride secretion into the gut. This imbalance of ions is accompanied by a massive accumulation of water in the gut that gives rise to diarrhea and dehydratation characteristic of enterotoxin activity. Proguanylin is found in circulation and plays an endocrine role by regulating the function of tissues such as the kidney and liver. Proguanylin is a significant marker in renal insufficiency. Plasma levels of proguanylin increase in patients with chronic renal failure who were undergoing hemodialysis. Studies have shown, that serum levels of Proguanylin has rise in patients with Cohn syndrome therefore it could be used as a novel marker in diagnostic and therapy of cardiac failure.
Assay format
Sandwich ELISA, HRP-labelled antibody
Sample requirements
20 µl/well
Applications
Plasma-Citrate, Plasma-EDTA, Plasma-Heparin, Serum
Calibration Curve
|
Calibration range
0.3 – 10 ng/ml
Limit of detection
Analytical Limit of Detection is calculated from the real proguanylin values in wells and is 0.09 ng/ml.
Limit of quantification
Assay Sensitivity takes the dilution of samples into consideration and is calculated according to the formula: Assay Sensitivity = Analytical Limit of Detection x sample dilution = 0.09 ng/ml x 5 = 0.45 ng/ml
Intra-assay (Within-Run, n=8)
CV = 7.8 %
Inter-assay (Run-to-Run, n=6)
CV = 7.9 %
Spiking Recovery
93.4 %
Dilution Linearity
96.1 %
Cross-Reactivity
Human
