| S100A4

Protein S100-A4 (S100A4) is a protein that is encoded by the S100A4 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein may function in motility, invasion, and tubulin polymerization. Chromosomal rearrangements and altered expression of this gene have been implicated in tumor metastasis.
 

| 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	2.11	1.28	0.71	0.4	0.3	0.22	0.18	0.08
Corrected OD	2.03	1.2	0.63	0.32	0.22	0.14	0.1	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse S100A4 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)	86-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-106	102
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	106

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse S100A4 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
