Human ASIP  (Agouti-signaling protein) ELISA Kit (HUFI05460)

The Assay Genie human ASIP ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of Agouti-signaling protein in human research specimens through a microplate-based immunoassay. ASIP functions as a paracrine inverse agonist at melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R, influencing melanocyte pigmentation pathways and broader metabolic regulation including appetite signaling and energy homeostasis. The assay is commonly deployed in dermatology, metabolic disease, and pigmentation genetics studies investigating how ASIP expression correlates with phenotype variation, body mass index, or hair and skin color traits in different populations. Supplied as a 96 Assays kit format with all reagents prepared for in vitro research use only, the product supports standard curve generation, sample dilution buffers, and reproducible quantification in basic science and translational laboratories working on cutaneous biology or adiposity research.
