Mouse Catestatin PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0042)

Catestatin is a 21-amino acid bioactive peptide cleaved from chromogranin A by prohormone convertases, and it functions as a potent endogenous inhibitor of catecholamine release through antagonism at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The Mouse Catestatin PharmaGenie ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is a competitive colorimetric immunoassay developed for quantitative measurement of this peptide in mouse-derived research samples.

Each kit provides reagents for 96 individual assays and is validated for cell culture supernatant work alongside in vivo mouse specimen analysis, with separate protocols for plasma-derived and serum-derived specimens. The competitive format enables detection of the small peptide without paired epitope-specific antibodies, broadening its applicability across matrices collected from cardiac, neuroendocrine, and metabolic research studies.

Typical research applications include biomarker profiling in hypertension models, characterization of sympathetic nervous system activity, evaluation of metabolic syndrome interventions, and investigation of stress-induced chromogranin A processing. Reagents arrive in single-use vials and should be stored refrigerated and protected from light to preserve activity through the stated shelf life; the package insert details specific handling steps.

For laboratories studying adrenergic signaling, cardiovascular physiology, or peptide biomarker discovery, this 96-assay format offers a reproducible route to quantify circulating catestatin levels and monitor responses to pharmacological or genetic manipulations in mouse models.
