Reticulon-4 is a protein belongs to the family of reticulon-encoding genes. Reticulons are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, and are involved in neuroendocrine secretion or in membrane trafficking in neuroendocrine cells. The product of this gene is a potent neurite outgrowth inhibitor which may also help block the regeneration of the central nervous system in higher vertebrates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants derived both from differential splicing and differential promoter usage and encoding different isoforms have been identified.Isoform 1 is specifically expressed in brain and testis and weakly in heart and skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is widely expressed except for the liver. Isoform 3 is expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Isoform 4 is testis-specific.

Human Reticulon-4 (RTN4) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate RTN4 in samples. An antibody specific for RTN4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyRTN4 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for RTN4 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 RTN4 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
