Porcine GHRL ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative measurement of Ghrelin (GHRL) in porcine samples, with reactivity against pig serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay is specific for natural and recombinant pig appetite-regulating hormone.

It has a detection range of 0.312-20ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.084ng/mL. The target is the secreted protein GHRL, the ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR), which induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary and has an appetite-stimulating effect. Synonyms for the target include Growth hormone secretagogue, Growth hormone-releasing peptide, and Motilin-related peptide.

UniProt accession is Q9GKY5, with NCBI Official Symbol GHRL and a molecular weight of 12,657 Da. The kit is for research use only and falls within the cardiovascular research area.
