Human Calcitonin gene-related peptide 2 (CALCB) ELISA Kit

This sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative measurement of human Calcitonin gene-related peptide 2 (CALCB) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay shows reactivity with human samples and uses a sandwich ELISA format to deliver accurate and reproducible quantification of CALCB levels.

The kit provides a detection range of 15.6-1000pg/mL with a sensitivity of 10pg/mL. Precision performance is reported as an intra-assay CV of 4.3% and an inter-assay CV of 7.4%. Recovery has been validated at an average of 96% (range 90-102%) for serum and 98% (range 92-104%) for plasma. CALCB is a secreted neuropeptide, also known by the synonyms Beta-type CGRP, Beta-CGRP, Calcitonin gene-related peptide II, CGRP-II and CALC2, which induces vasodilation across coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature and points toward a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role in the CNS.

Specificity is directed against natural and recombinant human Calcitonin gene-related peptide 2, and the research area is highlighted as cardiovascular. The product is intended for research use only, with kit component storage conditions ranging between -20°C and 4°C as detailed in the kit insert.
