Rat Appetite-regulating hormone (Ghrl) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie offers a Sandwich ELISA-format kit for the quantitative detection of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin in rat samples. The assay is reactive with rat and validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids, with specificity for natural and recombinant rat appetite-regulating hormone. It supports research within the cardiovascular field.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.156-10ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.089ng/mL. Precision is reported with an intra-assay CV of 4.3% and an inter-assay CV of 8.9%. Linearity has been demonstrated in serum (94-120% across dilutions from 1:2 to 1:16), EDTA plasma (91-120%), and heparin plasma (83-126%). Recovery averages 98% (range 92-104%) in serum and 100% (range 94-106%) in plasma.

The target analyte is a secreted hormone that serves as the endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR), with roles in appetite stimulation, growth hormone release, and gastric acid secretion. The kit is intended for research use only.
