Mouse Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) ELISA Kit

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 is a stress-responsive cytokine of the TGF-β superfamily, and this Assay Genie ELISA Kit is configured to quantify the mouse form of GDF15 (also called MIC-1) in research samples. Mouse GDF15 rises in response to mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and tissue injury, making it a widely studied biomarker in models of appetite regulation, energy expenditure, chemotherapy-induced cachexia, and aging biology.

The kit provides 96 individual assay determinations on a pre-coated microplate with a colorimetric readout, suitable for studies using cell culture supernatants, tissue homogenates, and serum from mouse models. Researchers apply this kit to investigate GDF15 dynamics in metabolic disease, heart failure, cancer progression, and inflammatory disorders. The assay is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic applications.

Reagents are shipped ready for use and should be stored refrigerated at 4°C to maintain activity. The plate is pre-coated with capture antibody specific for mouse GDF15, and the protocol requires a small sample volume per well. Detailed standard curve preparation and assay procedures are included in the product manual.
