Human Ghrelin-O-Acyltransferase (GOAT) ELISA Kit

The GOAT enzyme, also known as MBOAT4, catalyzes the octanoylation of proghrelin to generate acyl-modified ghrelin, the isoform that engages the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR1a) and drives appetite signaling, glucose homeostasis, and energy balance. Quantitative measurement of GOAT in tissue homogenates and biofluid samples supports research into metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and Prader-Willi syndrome, and enables studies of gastric and hypothalamic regulation.

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this kit supplies reagents for quantifying Ghrelin-O-Acyltransferase in human-derived specimens. The microplate-based format delivers 96 assays per kit, with working reagents configured for in vitro laboratory workflows. Reconstituted standards and detection antibody should be aliquoted and stored at -20 °C, protected from light, to limit freeze-thaw degradation across multiple runs.
