Human Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) ELISA Kit

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a 241-amino-acid prohormone expressed primarily in the anterior pituitary, hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, and skin, where it undergoes post-translational cleavage to yield bioactive peptides including ACTH, α-MSH, β-MSH, CLIP, and β-endorphin. This Assay Genie ELISA kit provides a quantitative tool for researchers studying central melanocortin signaling in appetite regulation, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, energy homeostasis, and pigmentation biology. Configured for 96 determinations and intended for research use only, the kit supports investigations into obesity, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, depression, and chronic inflammatory disorders where altered POMC processing or circulating peptide concentrations have been reported. The plate-based format produces a colorimetric readout compatible with standard microplate readers, and all components should be stored refrigerated upon arrival to preserve antibody binding activity. The kit ships with pre-coated wells, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, substrate solution, and wash buffer sufficient for a full plate run.
