Chicken Galanin (GAL) ELISA Kit

Designed for the quantitative measurement of galanin levels in chicken samples, this Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie employs a colorimetric detection method. The kit is intended for research use only and shows reactivity with chicken. It accepts serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, and is specific for natural and recombinant chicken Galanin. Synonym: GALN.

Galanin is a neuropeptide linked to the modulation of several physiological processes, including pain perception, stress response, and food intake regulation. Per its UniProt entry (P30802), the protein is secreted and functions to contract smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract, regulate growth hormone release, modulate insulin release, and may be involved in the control of adrenal secretion. The protein belongs to the galanin family and has a reported molecular weight of 3,212 Da. Dysregulation of galanin has been associated with neurological and metabolic conditions, supporting its use as a biomarker in related research.

Intra-assay CV, inter-assay CV, linearity, and recovery values are supplied with the kit. Required equipment not provided includes a microplate reader with a 450 nm filter, a multichannel pipette, pipettes, microcentrifuge tubes, disposable pipette tips, an incubator, deionized or distilled water, absorbent paper, and a buffer reservoir.
