The ELISA Kit is designed to measure human ANXA2 levels in samples, including serum, urine, saliva, or cell lysates. It uses the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique in combination with the enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction to quantify the analyte in the sample. The color develops positively to the amount of ANXA2 in samples. The color intensity is measured at 450 nm via a microplate reader.
ANXA2, a calcium-regulated phospholipid-binding protein, is involved in several critical cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, cell adhesion, cell motility, angiogenesis, vesicular transport, exocytosis, and endocytosis. It is abundantly expressed in multiple cancers, including breast cancer, squamous cervical cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and lung cancer. ANXA2 plays a pivotal role in cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and treatment resistance. Abnormal expression of ANXA2 can be used as a potential predictive factor, diagnostic biomarker, and therapeutic target in cancer therapy.
