Porcine Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 4 (IGFBP4) ELISA Kit

Quantify Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 4 (IGFBP4) in swine-derived research samples using this Assay Genie ELISA Kit configured exclusively for porcine reactivity. IGFBP4 is a key regulator of IGF bioavailability, sequestering circulating IGF-1 and IGF-2 to modulate growth signaling, mitogenic activity, and tissue development. In swine models, IGFBP4 measurements support investigations of skeletal muscle hypertrophy, neonatal development, reproductive endocrinology, and metabolic regulation under varied nutritional conditions.

Configured as a 96-assay microplate format and intended for in vitro research use only, the kit accepts multiple starting sample matrices including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants. Researchers working on livestock productivity traits, comparative endocrinology between mammalian species, or veterinary biomarker discovery apply this colorimetric assay to track how IGFBP4 levels shift in response to nutritional, hormonal, or pharmacological interventions.

The assay supports studies of growth factor biology where understanding the balance between free and bound IGF pools is critical to interpreting endocrine and paracrine signaling. It complements parallel measurements of IGF-1, IGF-2, and related binding proteins such as IGFBP3 in longitudinal and cross-sectional study designs.
