Human Mesencephalic Astrocyte Derived Neurotrophic Factor (MANF) ELISA Kit

MANF (Mesencephalic Astrocyte-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a secreted protein originally characterized for its ability to support the survival of dopaminergic neurons, making it a molecule of significant interest in neuroscience research. This ELISA kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of MANF levels across multiple sample matrices, including cell lysates, tissue homogenates, and conditioned media from cultured cells.

MANF is increasingly studied in the context of ER stress response, Parkinson's disease models, retinal degeneration, and pancreatic beta-cell protection, where altered circulating or local concentrations may reflect disease state or therapeutic response. The assay is intended for research use only and provides a reliable in vitro tool for laboratories investigating neurotrophic signaling, neurodegeneration mechanisms, or stress-related cellular pathways.

Results can support studies in dopaminergic neuron survival, unfolded protein response biology, and the expanding body of work linking MANF to metabolic and neuroprotective functions across neuroscience, endocrinology, and cell biology research programs.
