Mouse Galanin peptides (Gal) ELISA Kit

Designed for the precise measurement of galanin levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants, this ELISA kit from Assay Genie delivers high sensitivity and specificity for a range of research applications. The assay covers a detection range of 31.2-2000pg/mL with a sensitivity of 15.6pg/mL, and shows an intra-assay CV of 5.9% and an inter-assay CV of 8.6%. Specificity is directed against natural and recombinant mouse galanin peptides, and recovery has been validated in serum (average 97%, range 91-103%) and plasma (average 99%, range 93-105%) sample matrices.

Galanin is a neuropeptide that regulates diverse physiological functions, including cognition, mood, and pain perception. It acts as an endocrine hormone of the central and peripheral nervous systems, binding and activating the G protein-coupled receptors GALR1, GALR2, and GALR3, and has been linked to the contraction of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract, growth hormone and insulin release, and adrenal secretion. The kit supports a broad range of sample types — serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids — and is intended for research use only.
