| ADAMTS8

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 8 is an enzyme that is encoded by the ADAMTS8 gene.This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The enzyme encoded by this gene contains two C-terminal TS motifs, and disrupts angiogenesis in vivo.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

OD	2.16	1.45	0.93	0.56	0.38	0.28	0.21	0.08
Corrected OD	2.08	1.37	0.85	0.48	0.3	0.2	0.13	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Human ADAMTS8 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	84-101	96
Cell Lysates(n=8)	96-108	104

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human ADAMTS8 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Tissue Homogenates(n=4)	Cell Lysates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	98	108
