COMPREhENSIVE SOLuTIONS FOR COMPLEX PROTEIN NETWORKS
PROTEOSTASIS
Protein homeostasis or ‘proteostasis’ is the process that regulates
proteins within the cell in order to maintain the health of both the cellular
proteome and the organism itself.
Proteostasis involves a highly complex interconnection of pathways
that influence the fate of a protein from synthesis to degradation. As
individual components are affected, the others adjust accordingly to
maintain normal function. Disruption of one or more of these proteostasis
influencers can manifest in pathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease,
cancer, and diabetes.
To fuel your proteostatis research, Enzo Life Sciences has an unrivaled
portfolio of ubiquitin/proteasome and heat shock protein research
reagents through our acquistion of Biomol International and Stressgen®
Bioreagents. Our development efforts within the areas of protein synthesis,
modification, and degradation continue to produce cutting-edge tools for
dissecting key biological processes at the forefront of academic discourse
in the proteostasis field. This commitment is evidenced most recently by
first-to-market immunoassays, cell based assays, and compound libraries
for autophagy, an emerging pathway of interest in cellular regulation of
protein turnover and its relation to disease.

“The SMN ELISA kit addresses a critical gap in SMA research and is expected to significantly accelerate SMA therapeutics development. Development and distribution of this system could not have happened without the successful collaboration with Enzo and contributions from the SMA research community.”
Karen S. Chen, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, SMA Foundation
SMN ELISA from concept to market
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Foundation
Develop a quantitative ELISA for Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein
in human and mouse PBMC lysates, to serve as an alternative to more
time-consuming, semi-quantitative Western blotting.
Following screening of commercially available, privately licensed, and
internally developed recombinant protein standards and detection
antibodies, a workable assay was deemed to meet feasibility requirements
for sensitivity and specificity. Pilot lot kits were manufactured and
distributed to researchers within the SMA Foundation network of academic
and industry-based SMN-focused research groups. Sample preparation
protocols and sample type validation efforts were expanded as additional
needs were determined through end-user feedback.
A fully validated ELISA (ADI-900-209) and related SMN reagents are
now commercially available to the SMA research community. The ELISA
sensitivity is 50pg/mL of SMN, and the human SMN standard (developed
in-house) displays parallelism with native human and mouse SMN protein
in cell lysate samples.

ANIMAL HEALTHThe Science of Conservation With thousands of species each year listed as endangered or threatened,
the work done by biologists around the world to understand and preserve
animal health is never ending. Reproduction studies and stress are two
of the most common concerns today, as each species has its unique
set of challenges that affect the biology and stresses related to rescue
efforts, rehabilitation, and mating.
The challenges of collecting biological samples from a 2-ton Walrus or
Polar Bear are obvious. Biologists responsible for their care spend great
time and effort collecting and processing urine, feces, blood, saliva,
feathers, and fur. For nearly twenty years scientists have trusted Enzo’s
steroid hormone ELISA kits to deliver sensitivity and reproducibility for
the analysis of their samples, and have accessed our comprehensive
support team to optimize input sample types and share feedback.
Our most popular ELISAs for the quantification of 17β-estradiol,
progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and corticosterone have been cited
in numerous publications and protocols shared by zoos, aquariums, and
conservation scientists worldwide, allowing us to create and share an
extensive database of knowledge for methods that benefit creatures
both large and small.
