Porcine Urotensin-2 (UTS2) ELISA Kit

The Porcine Urotensin-2 (UTS2) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie uses a sandwich immunoassay format with colorimetric detection, allowing quantitative measurement of UTS2 in porcine serum and plasma samples. Urotensin-2 is a cyclic vasoactive peptide recognized as one of the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictors identified to date, and it has been implicated in cardiovascular regulation, hypertension, heart failure, and metabolic disorders in swine models.

The assay is supplied in a 96-well microplate format and is read at 450 nm with optional reference correction at 620 nm. Researchers typically load 50 µL of standard and 50 µL of sample per well, generating a standard curve that allows interpolation of native peptide concentrations. The kit supports research in cardiovascular, pharmacological, and comparative physiology studies.

For optimal stability, the kit components should be refrigerated at 2-8°C upon receipt, with the microplate sealed and stored protected from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the standard and reagents by preparing single-use aliquots where possible. All reagents are provided ready-to-use or in concentrated form with detailed preparation instructions to ensure reproducible performance across runs.
