Mouse Relaxin (RLN) ELISA Kit

The Mouse Relaxin (RLN) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is built around a competitive immunoassay format optimized for quantifying endogenous relaxin peptide in murine specimens. Relaxin is a heterodimeric peptide hormone of the insulin superfamily that acts through GPCRs RXFP1 and RXFP2, mediating extracellular matrix remodeling, collagen turnover, and pelvic ligament relaxation during late gestation, as well as vasodilation, antifibrotic signaling, and cardioprotection in non-reproductive tissues. Researchers in reproductive biology, obstetrics modeling, fibrosis, and cardiovascular research routinely measure circulating RLN levels to track gestational timelines, evaluate gonadectomy or hormonal interventions, and characterize age-related cardiac remodeling in transgenic mouse lines. The kit supports a standard microplate workflow and accommodates specimen matrices from preclinical studies. All reagents should be equilibrated to ambient temperature before use, and reconstituted standards stored refrigerated to preserve calibration curve integrity.
