Bovine Orexin A (OXA) ELISA Kit

Orexin A is a neuropeptide implicated in arousal, feeding behavior, and sleep-wake regulation, acting through orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R. The Assay Genie Bovine Orexin A (OXA) ELISA Kit provides a competitive ELISA platform for measuring this peptide in cattle-derived matrices. The kit arrives as a complete reagent set supporting up to 96 determinations on a pre-coated microplate, with all required buffers, standards, and a full protocol for in vitro research use only.

The assay works with multiple sample matrices from cattle, including peripheral circulation samples and tissue-derived preparations, so investigators can compare OXA concentrations across both systemic and localized measurements. Orexin A measurement in bovine samples supports research into ruminant metabolism, feeding behavior, and energy homeostasis, where OXA signaling has been examined in the context of appetite regulation and hypothalamic pathways. Each plate is read on a standard microplate reader at the wavelength specified in the kit insert.

Reagents should be stored refrigerated and protected from light; unused wells should be returned to the foil pouch with desiccant to preserve antibody activity. Standard curves, assay controls, and a detailed protocol are included so laboratories can establish quantitative readouts across their own sample sets. The kit is supplied by Assay Genie and is intended for life-science research on bovine orexin biology.
