Rat Alpha-1-Microglobulin/Bikunin Precursor (a1M) ELISA Kit

Alpha-1-microglobulin is a low-molecular-weight glycoprotein (approximately 26 kDa) belonging to the lipocalin family, expressed primarily in the liver and circulating in plasma as part of the AMBP precursor protein that also yields bikunin. This Rat Alpha-1-Microglobulin/Bikunin Precursor (a1M) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie provides a quantitative immunoassay for measuring a1M levels in rat samples, supporting nephrology and toxicology research where urinary a1M serves as an early biomarker of proximal tubular dysfunction and renal injury.

Researchers employ this assay to monitor glomerular and tubular kidney function in rodent models, investigate oxidative stress responses, and characterize hepatic involvement in systemic disease. Each kit is supplied with the necessary reagents and a pre-coated microplate to perform the assay. Reconstituted reagents should be stored refrigerated, and unused wells from the strip plate can be resealed for later use within the kit's stated shelf life. Research use only.
