Rat Carboxypeptidase A2, Pancreatic (CPA2) ELISA Kit

This quantitative immunoassay kit from Assay Genie enables measurement of rat pancreatic carboxypeptidase A2 (CPA2) in serum samples, plasma samples, and tissue homogenates. The assay uses an enzyme-linked readout producing a measurable color change proportional to CPA2 concentration in the well. The kit is configured for a standard microplate workflow and includes pre-coated plates, reference standards, detection antibody, enzyme conjugate, substrate solution, and wash buffers needed to generate a standard curve and interpolate unknown samples.

CPA2 is a zinc-dependent metallocarboxypeptidase secreted by pancreatic acinar cells as an inactive zymogen (proCPA2) and converted to its active form in the small intestine by trypsin during dietary protein digestion. Researchers apply this kit to investigate pancreatic exocrine function, study gastrointestinal protein processing, and examine CPA2 expression in rat models of pancreatic injury, inflammation, cystic fibrosis, or digestive disorders. The plate-based format supports batch processing of multiple experimental and control samples in a single run. For research use only.
