Calcium-binding protein from human small intestine. Purification and characterization of a 10,000 molecular weight protein. 1986

M Staun, and H Sjöström, and O Norén

A calcium-binding protein (CaBP) was purified from human small intestinal mucosa by ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel filtration and chromatofocusing. Antibodies against CaBP were raised in rabbits and CaBP was then isolated from human intestinal cytosol by a one-step immunoadsorbent procedure. In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate CaBP migrated as a single band corresponding to a molecular weight of 10,000. The calcium-binding ability of CaBP was demonstrated by increased electrophoretic mobility of CaBP in the presence of EDTA as demonstrated by immunoblotting of agarose gels. CaBP antibody showed no cross reaction with cytosolic proteins of duodenum from rat or pig. The present study suggests that molecular properties and distribution of human intestinal CaBP is comparable to those of intestinal CaBP detected in lower mammalian species.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D002135 Calcium-Binding Proteins Proteins to which calcium ions are bound. They can act as transport proteins, regulator proteins, or activator proteins. They typically contain EF HAND MOTIFS.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
