Chicken Peptide YY-like (PYY) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this ELISA kit is developed for the quantitative measurement of peptide YY-like (PYY) in chicken samples. It is reactive with chicken and validated for use with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. The assay is described as a high-quality sandwich ELISA with colorimetric detection.

Peptide YY-like is a peptide hormone involved in regulating appetite and food intake, and it plays a key role in the control of body weight and metabolism, making it a valuable marker for research on obesity, eating disorders, and metabolic diseases. Functionally, this gut peptide inhibits exocrine pancreatic secretion, has a vasoconstrictory action, and inhibits jejunal and colonic mobility. The kit shows specificity for natural and recombinant chicken peptide YY-like. The target protein is localised to the secreted subcellular compartment and has a reported molecular weight of 4,237 Da (UniProt P29203).

The reported detection range is 6.25-400 pg/mL with a sensitivity of 3.125 pg/mL. The product is intended for research use only and falls within the neurosciences research area.
