Bovine Retinol Binding Protein 4, Plasma (RBP4) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of circulating retinol binding protein 4 in bovine samples is enabled by this complete ELISA from Assay Genie. RBP4 is the specific plasma transport carrier for retinol (vitamin A), secreted mainly by hepatocytes and adipose tissue, and circulating concentrations reflect hepatic synthesis, renal tubular reabsorption, and overall vitamin A status. In dairy and beef cattle research, the assay supports work on nutritional adequacy, transition-period metabolic stress, hepatic lipidosis, and adipose-derived signaling relevant to reproductive biology.

Each kit supplies pre-coated microplate wells, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, chromogenic substrate, wash buffer, and calibrated standards for 96 individual determinations. Samples compatible with the workflow include serum, tissue homogenates, bovine cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants from bovine origin. Absorbance is read on a standard microplate reader, and concentrations are calculated against a standard curve generated from the supplied calibrators.
