Mouse Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (Aanat) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit is intended for the detection of mouse Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (Aanat). The assay targets natural and recombinant mouse Serotonin N-acetyltransferase and is suitable for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. It supports neuroscience research, given that AANAT controls the night/day rhythm of melatonin production in the pineal gland by catalysing the N-acetylation of serotonin into N-acetylserotonin, the penultimate step in melatonin synthesis.

Quoted performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.312-20ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.183ng/mL. The enzyme is localised to the cytoplasm, with listed synonyms including Aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase, AA-NAT, Serotonin acetylase, and Snat. The product is for research use only.
