Rat DBP (Vitamin D Binding Protein) ELISA Kit (RTES00887)

Quantitative Measurement of Vitamin D Binding Protein in Rat Samples

The Assay Genie Rat DBP ELISA Kit is a research-use immunoassay developed for quantitative measurement of Vitamin D Binding Protein (DBP), also known as group-specific component (Gc) globulin, in rat-derived specimens. DBP is the principal plasma carrier of vitamin D metabolites and is increasingly studied in rodent models of hepatic injury, vitamin D dysregulation, and inflammatory disease.

The kit arrives configured for 96 assays, with all reagents supplied in individual vials ready for plate setup. Reconstituted standards and working dilutions should be kept refrigerated between uses; long-term storage of concentrated stocks is recommended at colder temperatures to preserve immunoreactivity. Researchers should aliquot working reagents to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample preparation accepts rat serum, rat plasma, and other compatible biological matrices collected under standard laboratory protocols. Each well accommodates a small microliter sample volume per the kit insert, with absorbance read on a standard microplate reader for endpoint quantification. The capture and detection antibodies used in this kit are specific to rat DBP, and the assay is intended for research use only, not for diagnostic or clinical decision-making.

Typical downstream applications include endocrinology and metabolic research, hepatic-function studies in rat models of liver disease, examination of vitamin D axis activity in nutritional or toxicology studies, and broader investigation of the acute-phase response. The assay supports both individual-sample testing and higher-throughput screening across the full microplate.
