Rat Neuromedin U (NMU) ELISA Kit

Built around a quantitative immunoassay workflow, this Assay Genie kit measures endogenous Neuromedin U (NMU) peptide in rat-derived samples. NMU is a conserved neuropeptide first characterized for its role in smooth muscle contraction in the gut and is now widely studied in appetite regulation, energy expenditure, stress responses, and inflammatory signaling. Researchers working in obesity, gastrointestinal physiology, and metabolic disease use this microplate-format kit to quantify NMU levels in serum samples, plasma samples, and tissue homogenates prepared from rat models. The kit is intended for in vitro research use only, with all buffers, plates, and reagents supplied ready for a standard laboratory workflow. Results are commonly paired with downstream NMUR1 and NMUR2 receptor expression analysis to map signaling across hypothalamic and gastrointestinal tissues.
