Rat Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) ELISA Kit

This colorimetric rat GDF15 immunoassay from Assay Genie quantifies Growth Differentiation Factor 15, a stress-responsive cytokine of the TGF-β superfamily, in preclinical research samples. The kit supports studies of mitochondrial disease, cardiac injury, cancer cachexia, and metabolic dysfunction, where circulating GDF15 serves as a sensitive biomarker of cellular stress and inflammation.

Rat GDF15 is increasingly used as a translational biomarker linking rodent models to human findings, particularly in obesity, diabetes, and heart failure research. The assay accommodates serum or plasma specimens as well as tissue homogenates and additional sample matrices, in a 96-assay configuration matched to medium-throughput studies and longitudinal sample collection in rodent cohorts.

Researchers commonly apply this kit to evaluate hepatic, renal, and cardiac tissue responses in rats exposed to pharmacological or dietary interventions, as well as to monitor GDF15 elevation in tumor-bearing animals. Refrigerated storage between uses preserves reagent stability across multiple experimental runs.
