Rat CART PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0120)

This competitive ELISA from Assay Genie quantifies the neuropeptide CART (Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript) in rat samples, supporting neuroscience and metabolic research programs. The kit is used in studies of feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and reward pathways where endogenous CART peptide concentrations are measured in rodent disease and pharmacology models. The 96-assay plate format accommodates longitudinal study designs, while validated compatibility with cell culture supernatants and serum enables both in vitro and in vivo experimental workflows.

A competitive binding principle drives the assay: labeled CART antigen competes with native peptide from the sample for antibody binding sites, providing an alternative approach for small neuropeptide targets. For research use only, each kit ships with reagents needed to generate a standard curve and quantify relative CART concentrations across experimental groups. Refrigerated storage preserves antibody and conjugate activity through the stated shelf life.
