Mouse Apelin 13 (AP13) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Mouse Apelin 13 (AP13) ELISA Kit delivers a Competitive ELISA workflow for quantifying the bioactive 13-residue apelin peptide in mouse research samples.

Apelin-13 is the C-terminal fragment produced from preproapelin processing and acts as the endogenous ligand for the APJ receptor (APLNR), a G protein-coupled receptor linked to cardiovascular regulation, angiogenesis, fluid homeostasis, and energy metabolism. Researchers apply this assay in rodent models of metabolic disease, heart failure, vascular biology, and obesity to track circulating apelin-13 levels as a biomarker of cardiometabolic status.

The assay relies on a competitive immunoassay with a colorimetric readout on a standard microplate, supplied in a 96 assays format suitable for medium-throughput screening of mouse cohorts. Reconstituted reagents should be stored at 4°C while the lyophilized peptide standard remains stable at -20°C, tolerating several freeze-thaw cycles. For in vitro research use only; not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
