Mouse Urotensin-2 (Uts2) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Mouse Urotensin-2 (Uts2) ELISA Kit is a Sandwich-format immunoassay designed for the accurate detection of urotensin 2 in mouse-derived samples. Intended for research use only, the kit targets Urotensin-2, a peptide hormone and highly potent vasoconstrictor implicated in the regulation of cardiovascular function, vascular tone, and blood pressure, making it relevant to cardiovascular research in mouse models.

Validated sample types include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. The kit is specific to natural and recombinant mouse Urotensin-2. Performance characteristics include a detection range of 31.2-2000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 15.75pg/mL, with intra-assay CV, inter-assay CV, linearity, and recovery figures provided with the kit. Detection is by colorimetric ELISA read at 450 nm.

The target corresponds to UniProt entry Q9QZQ3 and is a secreted protein belonging to the urotensin-2 family. Synonyms recognised in the literature include Urotensin II, U-II, and Ucn2.
