Mouse Corticotropin (ACTH) ELISA Kit

A Sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie for the quantitative measurement of mouse Corticotropin, also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). The kit is intended for use with mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids.

Quoted performance characteristics include a detection range of 7.8-500pg/mL, a sensitivity of 3.93pg/mL, an intra-assay CV of 5.7%, and an inter-assay CV of 8.2%. Specificity is stated for natural and recombinant mouse Corticotropin, and dilutional linearity and recovery data are provided for serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma. The associated UniProt entry is P01193 and the research area is Neurosciences. According to the product description, dysregulation of corticotropin has been associated with Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, and adrenal insufficiency. Corticotropin's principal effects are increased production and release of corticosteroids, and cortisol, from the adrenal cortex. The kit is for research use only.
