Porcine N-Terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-ProBNP) ELISA Kit

NT-proBNP is a 76-amino acid polypeptide produced by cleavage of the proBNP precursor in cardiac ventricular myocytes, where it is secreted in response to elevated wall stress caused by pressure or volume overload. As a circulating marker of ventricular strain, it is widely used to evaluate cardiac dysfunction, including congestive heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy. This porcine-reactive ELISA from Assay Genie quantifies circulating NT-proBNP in swine, supporting translational cardiovascular research, pre-clinical evaluation of cardiotoxicity in drug development pipelines, and veterinary assessment of cardiac health in production herds. The microplate-based workflow processes a full plate of samples per run, accommodating both small pilot studies and larger cohort screens. Porcine cardiovascular physiology mirrors human disease in several respects, including heart-to-body-weight ratio, coronary anatomy, and susceptibility to atherosclerosis, which positions swine as a preferred translational model for investigating novel therapies targeting myocardial injury and remodelling.
