Mouse Neuritin 1 (NRN1) ELISA Kit

This immunoassay from Assay Genie quantifies mouse Neuritin 1 (NRN1), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored neurotrophic factor also known as CPG15 (candidate plasticity gene 15). NRN1 is expressed in post-mitotic neurons and supports neurite outgrowth, dendritic arborization, and synaptic maturation, making the protein a useful biomarker in studies of hippocampal plasticity, neural development, and activity-dependent remodeling.

The kit is configured as a 96-assay microplate and accepts tissue homogenates, cell lysates, serum samples, and plasma specimens, accommodating both in vitro neuroscience workflows and in vivo work in murine models. Each run produces a colorimetric readout generated by an enzyme-substrate reaction, with absorbance proportional to NRN1 concentration in the loaded specimen.

Applications include screening conditioned media from primary neuron cultures, profiling NRN1 expression in brain tissue lysates from transgenic or disease-model mice, and tracking circulating NRN1 levels in experimental cohorts. The kit is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic procedures. Unopened components should be stored refrigerated and protected from light, with stability maintained through the printed expiration date when handled according to the supplied protocol.
