Rat ASM (Acid Sphingomyelinase) ELISA Kit (RTES00939)

Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) is a lysosomal hydrolase that cleaves sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide, and altered ASM activity is implicated in lipid-storage disorders, neuroinflammation, pulmonary barrier dysfunction, and apoptosis signaling research. This rat-specific enzyme quantification kit from Assay Genie enables measurement of ASM levels in rat-derived serum or plasma specimens, tissue homogenates, and cell lysate preparations. Researchers investigating Niemann-Pick disease pathology, ceramide-mediated cell death pathways, foam-cell formation in atherosclerosis studies, or radiation- and chemotherapy-induced lung injury use this assay to track ASM expression in vivo. The kit provides all reagents required to process 96 determinations in a microplate format, with detection achieved through an enzyme-linked colorimetric readout read on a standard plate reader. All components arrive in a sealed, refrigerated pack; the assay plate, standards, and antibody reagents should be stored refrigerated upon receipt and protected from light. The kit is intended for research use only.
