MouseAngiopoietin Like Protein 8 ELISA Kit

This colorimetric research-use assay from Assay Genie is configured for quantitative measurement of mouse angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8), a 22 kDa secreted factor also known as betatrophin. ANGPTL8 is expressed chiefly in liver and adipose tissue, where it regulates plasma triglyceride handling by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase activity. Researchers studying metabolic disorders use the kit to track circulating betatrophin as a candidate biomarker in mouse models of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular research.

The assay accepts a diverse panel of input matrices from preclinical mouse studies, including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernatant, and serum-type or plasma-type specimens. Each kit is supplied as a complete reagent set sufficient for 96 determinations in a microplate workflow, with all buffers, standards, and detection components needed to generate a standard curve. The read-out is obtained on a standard plate reader, and the protocol is structured for routine use in a research laboratory setting.

ANGPTL8 measurements support longitudinal study designs where baseline and post-intervention samples are compared, and the assay is appropriate for screening genetic or diet-induced mouse models in lipid metabolism research. As an in vitro research reagent, it is intended for laboratory investigation and not for diagnostic use.
