QDPR (quinoid dihydropteridine reductase) is part of the pathway that recycles a substance called tetrahydrobiopterin, also known as BH4. Tetrahydrobiopterin works with an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase to process a substance called phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is an amino acid (a building block of proteins) that is obtained through the diet; it is found in all proteins and in some artificial sweeteners. When tetrahydrobiopterin interacts with phenylalanine hydroxylase, tetrahydrobiopterin is altered and must be recycled to a usable form. The regeneration of this substance is critical for the proper processing of several other amino acids in the body. Tetrahydrobiopterin also helps produce certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters, which transmit signals between nerve cells.
Bovine Dihydropteridine reductase (QDPR) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate QDPR in samples. An antibody specific for QDPR has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyQDPR present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for QDPR is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of QDPR bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
