Angiotensinogen is an α-2-globulin that is produced constitutively and released into the circulation mainly by the liver. It is a member of the serpin family, although it is not known to inhibit other enzymes, unlike most serpins. Plasma angiotensinogen levels are increased by plasma corticosteroid, estrogen, thyroid hormone, and angiotensin II levels.Angiotensin is formed from a precursor, angiotensinogen, which is produced by the liver and found in the alpha-globulin fraction of plasma. The lowering of blood pressure is a stimulus to secretion of renin by the kidney into the blood. Renin cleaves from angiotensinogen a terminal decapeptide, angiotensin I. This is further altered by the enzymatic removal of a dipeptide to form angiotensin II.
Human Angiotensinogen (AGT) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate AGT in samples. An antibody specific for AGT has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyAGT present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for AGT 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 AGT bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
