| CTPS1

CTP synthase 1 is an enzyme that is encoded by the CTPS1 gene .CTPS1 is an enzyme in the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway that catalyses the conversion of uridine triphosphate (UTP) to cytidine triphosphate (CTP). CTP is a key building block for the production of DNA, RNA and some phospholipids.CTPS1 is an asymmetrical homotetramer with only three of its four monomers contributing to the catalytic domain. The substrates required for enzymatic activity are adenosine triphosphate (ATP), UTP and the amino acid glutamine. The ATP and UTP binding domains are located at the tetramer interface, whereas the glutamine binding domain is located away from the tetramer interface.
 

| 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)	50	25	12.5	6.25	3.12	1.56	0.78	0
OD	2.47	1.4	0.77	0.46	0.32	0.22	0.2	0.08
Corrected OD	2.39	1.32	0.69	0.38	0.24	0.14	0.12	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Human CTPS1 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-109	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human CTPS1 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
