Rat FADS2/Fatty acid desaturase 2 ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA Kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 (FADS2) in rat samples. FADS2 is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids, playing an important role in lipid metabolism and cell membrane function. The assay uses a colorimetric Sandwich ELISA, Double Antibody detection format and is intended for Cell Biology research applications.

Reported performance includes a sensitivity of 0.469 ng/mL and an assay range of 0.781-50 ng/mL. Validated sample types include serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. Stored correctly at 2-8°C, the kit remains stable for 12 months.

Dysregulation of FADS2 has been linked to metabolic disorders, inflammation, and various chronic diseases, making this kit a valuable tool for biomarker studies in lipid metabolism pathways. The workflow uses a biotin-labeled detection antibody, HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and TMB substrate, with absorbance measured at 450 nm.
