Mouse Dynorphin A PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0049)

This Assay Genie competitive ELISA kit quantifies mouse dynorphin A, an endogenous 17-amino acid opioid neuropeptide that acts predominantly at kappa-opioid receptors. Dynorphin A is widely investigated in pain modulation, stress-axis activation, reward circuitry, and neurodegenerative disease models, making accurate quantification in murine specimens a frequent need in preclinical neuroscience and behavioral pharmacology research.

The kit follows a competitive immunoassay architecture, where labelled dynorphin A competes with endogenous peptide in the specimen for antibody binding. This format is appropriate because dynorphin A is too small to be captured simultaneously by two non-overlapping antibody pairs, which is why two-antibody capture assays are uncommon for this analyte. The microplate layout supports moderate-throughput studies, and the kit is configured for use with cell culture supernatants, plasma, or serum matrices from mouse models.

For reliable performance, store kit components refrigerated and protect from light, allowing the immunoassay to be run in any standard ELISA plate reader. Researchers studying opioid signalling, addiction pathways, or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function will find this dynorphin A kit a practical addition to their neuropeptide panel.
