Porcine CCK (Cholecystokinin) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Porcine Cholecystokinin (CCK) ELISA Kit is a tool for detecting levels of cholecystokinin in porcine samples. The kit is reactive with pig and validated for use with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

It delivers a detection range of 31.2-2000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 7.9pg/mL, with specificity for natural and recombinant pig Cholecystokinin. The analyte is a peptide hormone involved in digestion and appetite regulation in pigs; it induces gall bladder contraction and the release of pancreatic enzymes in the gut. Binding to CCK-A receptors stimulates amylase release from the pancreas, while binding to CCK-B receptors stimulates gastric acid secretion.

For research use only, the kit is suited to metabolism research and supports investigations into gastrointestinal health and the physiological role of cholecystokinin in pigs.
