Human Meteorin-like protein (METRNL) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA is designed for the quantitative detection of Meteorin-like protein (METRNL), also known as Subfatin, in human samples using a colorimetric readout. The assay has a reported sensitivity of 7.3 pg/mL and a detection range of 15.6–1000 pg/mL, with an intra-assay CV of 7.3% and an inter-assay CV of 9.5%.

Validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, the assay shows specificity for natural and recombinant human Meteorin-like protein. The kit is supplied for research use only and is associated with the Cell Biology research area.

According to the supplied documentation, METRNL is a secreted hormone induced following exercise or cold exposure that promotes energy expenditure by stimulating immune cell recruitment into white adipose tissue, supporting browning of fat depots and improved glucose tolerance, rather than acting directly on adipocytes.
