Rat Galanin ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit enables the quantitative measurement of galanin in rat samples. Galanin is a neuropeptide active in the central and peripheral nervous systems, where it influences processes including pain modulation, feeding behavior, and the stress response. Dysregulation of galanin has been linked to conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and Alzheimer's disease, making it a useful biomarker in neurological and neurotransmitter research.

The assay uses a double-antibody sandwich format with colorimetric detection. It is reactive with rat samples and is validated for serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. Performance characteristics include a sensitivity of 9.375 pg/mL and a measuring range of 15.625–1000 pg/mL, with the target corresponding to Uniprot entry P10683. Storage is at 2–8°C for 12 months. The workflow employs a biotin-labelled detection antibody followed by HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and TMB substrate, with absorbance read at 450 nm.
