Human Prostacyclin Receptor (PTGIR) ELISA Kit

Quantify prostacyclin receptor (PTGIR) levels in human samples with this ELISA Kit from Assay Genie. PTGIR is a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates prostacyclin (PGI2) signaling in vascular smooth muscle, endothelium, and platelets, and is a marker of interest in cardiovascular biology, pulmonary hypertension research, and studies of platelet aggregation. The assay is intended for research use only and measures PTGIR protein in tissue homogenates and cell lysates.

Each kit supplies reagents sufficient for 96 assays, with absorbance read on a standard microplate reader at the protocol-specified wavelength. The procedure uses a pre-coated plate and matched detection reagents provided in individual vials. Reagents should be kept refrigerated, protected from light, and used within the stated shelf life to preserve assay performance.

Researchers commonly pair PTGIR quantitation with western blot or PCR validation when characterizing prostanoid receptor regulation in disease models or screening IP receptor agonists and antagonists. The format supports single-use aliquoting of standards and detection reagents, enabling reproducible comparisons between experimental batches in cell culture and ex vivo tissue studies.
