Matrix gla protein (MGP) is member of a family of vitamin-K2 dependent, Gla-containing proteins. MGP has a high affinity binding to calcium ions, similar to other Gla-containing proteins. The protein acts as an inhibitor of vascular mineralization and plays a role in bone organization. MGP is found in number body tissues in mammals, birds, and fish. Its mRNA is present in bone, cartilage, heart, and kidney. It is present in bone together with the related vitamin K2-dependent protein osteocalcin. In bone, its production is increased by vitamin D.
Chicken Matrix Gla protein (MGP) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MGP in samples. An antibody specific for MGP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMGP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MGP 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 MGP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
