Mouse Neuropeptide Y (NPY) ELISA Kit

Neuropeptide Y is a 36-amino acid signaling peptide involved in appetite control, energy balance, anxiety-like behavior, and vascular tone, making it a frequent target in mouse studies of metabolism and neurobiology. This competitive ELISA from Assay Genie uses a colorimetric readout to measure endogenous NPY in mouse-derived samples, accommodating tissue homogenates, cell lysates, conditioned media from cultured cells, and circulating sample types commonly used in preclinical research.

The assay is supplied with reagents sufficient for a 96-assay plate run on standard microplate readers, allowing standards, controls, and unknowns to be processed together in a single experiment. Investigators studying hypothalamic peptide release, diet-induced obesity models, stress hormone interactions, and cardiovascular remodeling rely on quantitative NPY measurements to bridge behavioral phenotypes with peptide-level changes in mouse tissues and circulation.

Components include a pre-coated microplate, detection reagents, standards, and assay buffer, all provided for research use only. Working solutions should be kept refrigerated during use, with reconstituted standards held frozen to preserve performance across multiple runs. The competitive format suits measurement of a small conserved peptide where steric considerations can complicate traditional sandwich capture, supporting clean quantitation in complex mouse-derived matrices.
