Human Hepcidin (Hepc) ELISA Kit

Hepcidin is a small 25-amino-acid hepatic peptide hormone central to iron homeostasis regulation, acting by binding the iron exporter ferroportin to control intestinal iron absorption and macrophage iron release. This quantitative ELISA-format immunoassay from Assay Genie targets the bioactive hepcidin molecule, supporting research into iron metabolism disorders, anemia of chronic inflammation, hereditary hemochromatosis, and β-thalassemia pathophysiology. The kit accommodates diverse research sample types covering tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernatants, and blood-derived preparations, enabling both animal-model and clinical sample investigations. Reagents are supplied for 96 individual determinations per kit, validated in studies of inflammatory cytokine cascades, renal anemia, and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent responses. Readout uses a standard microplate reader, generating absorbance values directly proportional to hepcidin concentration in each reaction well. For in vitro research use only, the kit integrates into workflows spanning pharmaceutical screening, biomarker discovery, and academic hematology studies, with bulk-pack and related analyte kits available from the Assay Genie portfolio for streamlined panel assembly.
