Mouse Urocortin 3 (UCN3) ELISA Kit

Urocortin 3 (UCN3) is a 40-residue member of the corticotropin-releasing factor peptide family, encoded by the UCN3 gene and expressed in regions of the brain such as the median raphe and in peripheral tissues including the heart, adrenal gland, and pancreatic islets. The peptide acts through CRF2 receptors and has been implicated in modulating stress responses, appetite regulation, glucose homeostasis, and cardiac contractility. This ELISA kit from Assay Genie is calibrated for quantitative measurement of endogenous UCN3 levels in mouse-derived research samples, supporting studies of stress axis biology, metabolic disease models, and cardiovascular function. Reagents are supplied in a lyophilised and liquid format within individual vials, sufficient for 96 individual determinations run on a microplate. Reagent storage before first use is at refrigerated temperatures; reconstituted standards and working solutions should be aliquoted and stored frozen to limit freeze-thaw cycles. The kit is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical diagnostics. Components include a pre-coated microplate, biotinylated detection reagent, streptavidin-enzyme conjugate, wash buffer, substrate solution, and recombinant mouse UCN3 reference standard.
