Human Agouti-related protein (AGRP) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this sandwich ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of human Agouti-related protein (AGRP) in human samples using a colorimetric detection method. The kit is suitable for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

Reported performance specifications include a detection range of 15.6-1000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 10pg/mL. Intra-assay precision is 6.9% CV, with inter-assay precision at 11.7% CV. Recovery is 105-117% (average 111%) for serum and 107-119% (average 113%) for plasma. The kit recognises natural and recombinant human Agouti-related protein (synonyms AGRT, ART).

AGRP is a secreted protein involved in weight homeostasis and the control of feeding behavior through the central melanocortin system, acting as an antagonist of melanocortin receptors MC3R and MC4R. The associated UniProt accession is O00253. For research use only.
