Rat Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of rat butyrylcholinesterase is achieved with this ELISA kit from Assay Genie. Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) is a tetrameric serine hydrolase distinct from acetylcholinesterase, synthesized primarily in the liver and circulating abundantly in plasma, where it hydrolyzes a broad range of choline esters. In rat models, circulating BCHE levels act as a biomarker for hepatic synthetic function and are routinely tracked in toxicology studies investigating anticholinesterase compounds.

Each kit is shipped refrigerated and should be protected from light during storage. Reagents supplied support one full microplate of determinations, enabling mid-throughput screening in laboratories equipped with a standard absorbance plate reader. An absorbance-based readout keeps workflow integration straightforward for routine research use only applications.

Application areas encompass hepatology research on plasma protein synthesis in liver disease models, neurotoxicology screening of organophosphate and carbamate inhibitor effects, and neuroscience work examining cholinergic metabolism in rodent tissues. Liquid matrices such as heparinized plasma can be processed after standard centrifugation; users consult the enclosed protocol for specific dilution and standard curve guidance.

Assay Genie provides this kit for in vitro research use only. It is not intended for clinical diagnostic decisions or therapeutic monitoring, and researchers should validate results against orthogonal methods for any applied context.
