Mouse VGF Nerve Growth Factor Inducible (VGF) ELISA Kit

Quantify mouse VGF, a neuropeptide precursor induced by nerve growth factor, with this ELISA Kit from Assay Genie. VGF is expressed in neuroendocrine tissues and the central nervous system, where it is processed into bioactive peptides that influence energy balance, memory formation, and synaptic plasticity. The 96-assay plate format supports parallel measurement of multiple mouse samples, fitting workflows in neuroscience, metabolic disease, and behavioral research laboratories.

Researchers commonly apply this kit to evaluate VGF expression changes following neurotrophic stimulation, dietary intervention, or neurodegenerative challenge in mouse models. Each kit supplies the core immunoassay reagents, including pre-coated wells for mouse VGF capture and matched detection antibodies. Standard curves generated from kit calibrants allow interpolation of VGF concentrations across clarified tissue lysates from regions such as hypothalamus and hippocampus, where VGF is highly expressed, as well as other mouse specimen preparations.

The protocol is straightforward to perform on a standard microplate reader, making it accessible for core facility use and individual lab adoption in studies of neuropeptide signaling, mood-related behavior, and metabolic regulation.
