The Estrogen Receptor-beta (Phospho-Ser105) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Estrogen Receptor-beta protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Estrogen Receptor-beta in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Estrogen Receptor-beta phosphorylation.
Qualitative determination of Estrogen Receptor-beta (Phospho-Ser105) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Estrogen Receptor-beta (Phospho-Ser105) is captured by Estrogen Receptor-beta (Phospho-Ser105)-specific primary (1ø) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2ø) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1ø antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2ø antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

UniProt Protein Function: | ER-beta: a nuclear hormone receptor and transcription factor. Binds and activated by estrogen. Regulates gene expression and affects cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Binds estrogens with an affinity similar to that of ER-alpha, and activates expression of reporter genes containing estrogen response elements (ERE) in an estrogen-dependent manner. Eight alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described. Isoform beta-cx lacks ligand binding ability and has no or only very low ERE binding activity resulting in the loss of ligand-dependent transactivation ability. |

NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the family of estrogen receptors and superfamily of nuclear receptor transcription factors. The gene product contains an N-terminal DNA binding domain and C-terminal ligand binding domain and is localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Upon binding to 17beta-estradiol or related ligands, the encoded protein forms homo- or hetero-dimers that interact with specific DNA sequences to activate transcription. Some isoforms dominantly inhibit the activity of other estrogen receptor family members. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been fully characterized.

For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37 °C prior to adding cells. |
