Cgmp enzyme immunoassay kit

Manufactured by R&D Systems

The CGMP enzyme immunoassay kit is a laboratory tool used for the quantitative measurement of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in various sample types. It provides a standardized and reliable method for detecting and quantifying cGMP, which is an important cellular signaling molecule involved in various physiological processes.

Femoral Head Protein Analysis and cGMP/PKG Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was isolated by crushing and homogenizing the femoral head with RIPA buffer (Thermo Scientific, USA). Proteins were separated and transferred to membranes following standard protocols and probed using mouse monoclonal anti-VEGF (1:500; Abcam, USA) antibody. Protein expression was visualized on a film with an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (NEN Life Science Products Inc., Boston, MA, USA). Relative protein expression was determined using image analysis software (Media Cybernetics). For the quantitative analysis of protein, the intensity of each test band was expressed as the optical density (OD). β-actin was detected by mouse monoclonal anti-actin antibody (1:1000; Santa Cruz, USA) and was used as an internal control.
Measurement of Tissue cGMP and PKG Activity. Bone tissue cGMP level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using cGMP Enzyme Immunoassay Kit (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) according to the manufacturer's directions. PKG activity was measured according to the manufacturer's instructions (Cyclex, Nagano, Japan). Spectrophotometric absorbance was measured at 450 nm, and the results were normalized per mg of protein.

Quantifying Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cyclase activity reaction was performed
using ∼5 μM full-length sGC (based on the absorbance
at 431 nm) and ∼10 μM catalytic constructs (based on
the absorbance at 280 nm). The reaction assay was conducted in 40
mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 0.5 mM dithiothreitol, 0.3 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine,
1 mM GTP, and 3 mM MgCl2 or MnCl2. The reaction
mixture was incubated at 15 °C for 20 min and the reaction stopped
with the addition of EDTA (final concentration of 10 mM). The reaction
mixture was stored at −80 °C until cGMP was quantified
using a cGMP enzyme immunoassay kit (R&D) following the manufacturer’s
protocol. Activity was measured in duplicate, and the experiments
were repeated three times to ensure reproducibility.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
