| PINK1

PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a mitochondrial serine/threonine-protein kinase encoded by the PINK1 gene. It is thought to protect cells from stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. PINK1 activity causes the parkin protein to bind to depolarized mitochondria to induce autophagy of those mitochondria. PINK1 is processed by healthy mitochondria and released to trigger neuron differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause one form of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease.
 

| 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.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	20	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.625	0.312	0
OD	2.45	1.6	0.94	0.6	0.39	0.27	0.24	0.09
Corrected OD	2.36	1.51	0.85	0.51	0.3	0.18	0.15	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Human PINK1 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	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human PINK1 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 (%)	84-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	105-113
	Average (%)	94	107
