Rat Glucoprotein 130 (gp130) ELISA Kit

Soluble gp130 levels in rat research samples can be quantified using this Assay Genie ELISA Kit, which targets the interleukin-6 signal transducer (IL6ST) receptor subunit. gp130 serves as the shared signal-transducing component of the IL-6 cytokine receptor family, which includes receptors for IL-6, IL-11, CNTF, LIF, and oncostatin M. Circulating soluble gp130 is studied as a biomarker of inflammatory signaling, hepatic stress, and cytokine receptor activity in rodent models of disease.

The kit is supplied with pre-coated plate wells, ready-to-use reagents, and rat gp130 standards. Researchers apply diluted samples such as serum, tissue homogenate, or plasma-type preparations to the wells, perform the in vitro binding reaction, and read absorbance on a standard microplate reader. Each kit contains sufficient components for one complete assay run, intended for research use only. Unused reagents should be stored refrigerated between uses to maintain activity, protected from light and repeated freeze-thaw cycles when applicable.
