Rat Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein (ARC) ELISA Kit

The ARC protein, also called Activity-Regulated Cytoskeleton-associated protein, is an immediate-early gene product expressed in neurons and skeletal muscle, where it contributes to synaptic plasticity, memory consolidation, and activity-dependent cytoskeletal remodeling. This research-use-only ELISA kit from Assay Genie offers a quantitative immunoassay tool for measuring rat ARC concentrations in tissue homogenates and related research specimens.

Typical applications include neuroscience investigations of learning and memory, studies of synaptic remodeling after behavioral training, characterization of ARC dysregulation in neurodegeneration models, and exercise-physiology studies examining muscle ARC expression in rats. The kit complements immunohistochemistry, western blot, and PCR workflows that analyze the same target at the protein or transcript level, and it pairs naturally with cell culture experiments that probe activity-driven gene expression.

Supplied as a complete microplate-format kit containing all reagents required to perform the assay, the system supports the standard plate layout for an entire plate of individual measurements. Store reagents refrigerated and protected from light, aliquot working solutions to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and follow the included protocol optimized for rat-derived tissue lysates and homogenates. Each lot is quality-controlled at Assay Genie to support reproducible quantitative results in the laboratory workflow.
