Mouse Orexin A ELISA Kit

Assay Genie supplies this competitive ELISA, coated with antigen, for the quantitative detection of orexin A in mouse samples. The assay uses a colorimetric detection method and is intended for research use with serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. The kit reacts with mouse orexin A (also known as hypocretin-1, synonym OXA; UniProt O55241), a neuropeptide involved in regulating sleep-wake cycles, appetite, and energy metabolism.

Reported performance characteristics include a sensitivity of 37.5 pg/mL and a standard range of 62.5-4000 pg/mL. Orexin A dysregulation has been linked in the literature to narcolepsy, obesity, and mood disorders, supporting its use as a biomarker in studies of those conditions. The kit should be stored sealed at 2-8°C and not cryopreserved.
