Human Metallothionein 3 ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit uses a double-antibody format for the in vitro quantitative determination of Human MT3 (Metallothionein 3) concentrations in plasma and other biological fluids. Reactive with human samples, the kit supports research into metallothionein-3, a protein involved in metal homeostasis and detoxification that has been associated with heavy metal toxicity, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative diseases. Compatible sample types include serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants.

Performance specifications include a sensitivity of 0.094ng/ml and a standard range of 0.156-10ng/ml. Spiked-matrix recovery rates were 87-105% (average 98%) for EDTA plasma and 89-100% (average 92%) for UFH plasma, with linearity demonstrated across serial dilutions. Precision is reported with an intra-assay CV of <8% and an inter-assay CV of <10%. The kit is intended for research use only and is stored at 4°C for 6 months. The MT3 target is encoded at chromosomal location 16q13 (UniProt P25713), with a reported molecular weight of 6,927 Da, and belongs to the metallothionein superfamily, type 1 family.
