Human Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) ELISA Kit

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a large prohormone precursor that is enzymatically processed into multiple bioactive peptides, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), and β-endorphin. These derivatives are central to appetite regulation, energy homeostasis, pigmentation, analgesia, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress axis.

The Human Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is an in vitro research-use immunoassay used to quantify human POMC levels in laboratory specimens. Investigators in endocrinology, metabolism, obesity, and neuroscience research apply this assay to studies of Cushing's syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, melanocortin pathway disorders, and stress-related physiology.

Supplied in a 96-assay format, the kit supports medium-throughput screening and includes a pre-coated microplate, detection reagents, calibrators, and protocol documentation for standard ELISA plate-reader workflows. Researchers should consult the enclosed manual for detailed protocol steps, recommended dilutions, and storage temperature conditions. The kit is intended for research use only and is not for diagnostic procedures.
