Bovine Insulin (INS) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA Kit is designed to detect insulin levels in bovine samples using a colorimetric readout. The kit is intended for research use only and provides precise, reproducible results for a variety of research applications.

The assay recognises natural and recombinant bovine insulin and is validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. Insulin is a key hormone that decreases blood glucose concentration, increases cellular permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids, and accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in the liver.

Reported performance characteristics include a detection range of 1.56-100 mIU/L and a sensitivity of 0.61 mIU/L. The target is the secreted insulin heterodimer (UniProt P01317), with a molecular weight of 11,393 Da, and is referenced within cancer research contexts.
