Porcine Orexin (OX) ELISA Kit

This immunoassay kit from Assay Genie quantifies Orexin (OX), a hypothalamic neuropeptide also known as hypocretin, in porcine biological specimens. Orexin plays a central role in sleep-wake cycle regulation, feeding behavior, arousal, and energy homeostasis, making quantitative measurement valuable for neuroscience, metabolic disorder, and veterinary physiology investigations.

The microplate-based protocol uses pre-coated wells with detection antibodies and a calibrant standard set supplied with the kit. Store the unopened kit refrigerated, allow plate and reagents to equilibrate to room temperature before running the assay, and aliquot reconstituted standards to limit freeze-thaw cycles that degrade peptide calibrants. The kit is intended for research use only and is not cleared for diagnostic or clinical applications.

Porcine Orexin quantification supports translational large-animal models of narcolepsy, obesity, appetite regulation, and reward-pathway research, where swine neuropeptide physiology closely mirrors human hypocretin signaling.
