Introduction | Gasdermin D is a protein which is a member of the gasdermin protein family, and that in humans is encoded by the GSDMD gene. Members of this family appear to play a role in regulation of epithelial proliferation. GSDMD has been suggested to act as a tumor suppressor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. It is believed that GSDMD is an effector molecule for the lytic form of cell death called "pyroptosis."This process occurs after activation of the inflammasome, a multi-protein complex that recognises pathogen associated molecular patterns in the cytosol. GSDMD acts by binding to inner membrane lipids, forming pores, and lysing the cells. In addition, it has a potential role as an antimicrobial agent by binding to cardiolipin on bacterial membranes. |
Target | Gasdermin D (GSDMD) |
Reactivity | Human |
Tested Applications | ELISA |
Recommended dilutions | Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
Storage | Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual. |
Validity | The validity for this kit is at least 6 months. Up to 12 months validity can be provided on request. |
Stability | The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout. |

Assay Principle | This kit is based on sandwich enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay technology. An antibody is pre-coated onto a 96-well plate. Standards, test samples, and biotin-conjugated reagent are added to the wells and incubated. The HRP-conjugated reagent is then added, and the whole plate is incubated. Unbound conjugates are removed using wash buffer at each stage. TMB substrate is used to quantify the HRP enzymatic reaction. After TMB substrate is added, only wells that contain sufficient GSDMD will produce a blue coloured product, which then changes to yellow after adding the acidic stop solution. The intensity of the yellow colour is proportional to the GSDMD amount bound on the plate. The Optical Density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at 450 nm in a microplate reader, from which the concentration of GSDMD can be calculated. |

Results Calculation | For calculation, average the O.D.450 duplicate readings for each reference standard and each sample and substract the average control (zero) O.D.450 reading. The standard curve can be plotted as the relative O.D.450 of each reference standard solution [Y] vs. the respective concentration of each standard solution (X). The GSDMD concentration of the samples can be interpolated from the standard curve. |
Assay Precision | Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, medium and high levels of Gasdermin D were were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, medium and high levels of Gasdermin D were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = (Standard Deviation / mean) × 100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12% |

Note | This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein. |
