Podocalyxin belongs to the CD34/Podocalyxin family of sialomucins that share structural similarity and sequence homology. Podocalyxin is a major sialoprotein in the podocytes of the kidney glomerulus and is also expressed by both endothelium and multipotent hematopoietic progenitors. It has been identified as a novel cell surface marker for hemangioblasts, the common precursors of hematopoietic and endothelial cells.The protein was originally identified as an important component of glomerular podocytes. Other biological activities of the encoded protein include: binding in a membrane protein complex with Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor to intracellular cytoskeletal elements, playing a role in hematopoetic cell differentiation, and being expressed in vascular endothelium cells and binding to L-selectin.
Human Podocalyxin (PCX) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PCX in samples. An antibody specific for PCX has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPCX present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PCX is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PCX bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
