Human Leptin receptor (LEPR) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this sandwich ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative detection of human Leptin receptor (LEPR). The assay uses a colorimetric readout and is reactive with human samples only. Suitable specimen matrices include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

According to the manufacturer's specifications, the detection range is 0.78-50ng/mL and the analytical sensitivity is 0.32ng/mL. Reported precision values are an intra-assay CV of 5.9% and an inter-assay CV of 8.4%. The kit specifically recognises natural and recombinant human Leptin receptor. Linearity and recovery data are supplied for serum and plasma samples. The product is intended for research use only.

Leptin receptor is a single-transmembrane-domain receptor belonging to the cytokine receptor family. On ligand binding it signals through JAK2/STAT3 and is implicated in the regulation of fat metabolism, energy balance and body weight. The manufacturer lists cardiovascular research as a primary application area for this assay.
