Human Neuronal Pentraxin Receptor (NPTXR) ELISA Kit

This colorimetric ELISA kit from Assay Genie provides a quantitative immunoassay for measuring human Neuronal Pentraxin Receptor (NPTXR) in tissue homogenates and other biological samples. NPTXR is a transmembrane receptor that belongs to the neuronal pentraxin family and is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, where it anchors secreted pentraxins such as NPTX1 and NPTX2 at excitatory synapses, contributing to AMPA receptor clustering and activity-dependent synaptic remodeling.

The kit is supplied as a microplate-format assay with reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations and is intended for research use only. It supports neuroscience workflows investigating synaptic biology, neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, and biomarker discovery in neurological studies. Researchers working with brain tissue extracts, primary neuronal cultures, or related sample types can apply the assay to track changes in NPTXR expression across disease models, developmental stages, or pharmacological interventions.

Reconstituted reagents should be handled per the product manual, with kit components refrigerated between uses to preserve activity through repeated experimental runs. Each package includes the pre-coated plate, capture and detection reagents, standards, and buffer components along with a complete protocol detailing sample preparation, incubation times, and analysis guidelines.
