Rat Angiotensin I (AngI) ELISA Kit

Built for cardiovascular and hypertension research, this competitive ELISA kit from Assay Genie quantifies Angiotensin I peptide in rat-derived specimens. The assay measures the decapeptide hormone generated by renin-mediated cleavage of angiotensinogen, supporting studies of blood pressure regulation, fluid balance, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).

Angiotensin I serves as the direct precursor to Angiotensin II following ACE processing, making its quantification essential for characterizing the full peptide cascade. Researchers studying ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or novel RAAS modulators use AngI measurements alongside AngII data to evaluate pharmacological interventions in experimental models. Salt-sensitive hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, and renal function studies frequently employ this measurement.

Supplied in a 96-assay format with all required reagents, the kit uses standard curve-based quantitation for interpolation of unknown sample concentrations against a calibrated reference series. Each plate run delivers reproducible results suitable for cohort studies and preclinical screening protocols. The procedure is intended for research use only and is compatible with standard microplate readers.

Application areas span preclinical cardiovascular research, nephrology models, and pharmaceutical screening for compounds targeting the renin-angiotensin pathway. Researchers working with spontaneously hypertensive rats, DOCA-salt models, or transgenic RAAS-relevant strains benefit from reliable AngI quantitation for endpoint analysis.
