Human Urotensin 2 (UST2) ELISA Kit

The Human Urotensin 2 (UST2) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is built around the Sandwich ELISA principle and quantitatively measures UST2, an 11-amino acid cyclic vasoactive peptide that signals through the GPR14 (UT) G-protein coupled receptor. UST2 is widely studied in cardiovascular research, where it has been linked to hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and renal disease, and is also of interest in metabolic disorder and diabetes research.

The assay accepts serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, supporting both clinical sample analysis and in vitro cell-based experiments. The capture antibody is specific to human UST2, with no significant cross-reactivity with rat urotensin 2, supporting clean measurements in translational studies.

The kit is supplied in a 96-well microplate format, and standard practice is to store the components refrigerated between uses, with repeated freeze-thaw cycles of standards avoided. Reagents are intended for research use only and support standard ELISA workflows across vascular biology, biomarker discovery, and pharmacological screening applications.
