Rat Neuropeptide Y (NPY) ELISA Kit

The Rat Neuropeptide Y (NPY) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is a competitive immunoassay calibrated specifically for rat NPY, providing quantitative measurement of endogenous NPY in rat-derived sample matrices. NPY is a 36-amino acid peptide neurotransmitter studied extensively in neuroscience, metabolic, and cardiovascular research, where it contributes to appetite regulation, stress responses, anxiety-like behavior, and vasoconstriction. The kit supplies reagents sufficient for 96 individual reactions in a standard microplate layout, supporting medium-throughput studies without requiring specialized instrumentation beyond a plate reader. Researchers apply this assay to hypothalamic NPY quantification, feeding-behavior models, obesity and energy-balance investigations, and studies of blood-pressure regulation. Reconstituted standards and stock detection reagents should be kept frozen in single-use aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles, while working kit components remain stable when refrigerated at 4 degrees C through the stated shelf life. The colorimetric endpoint is read on a standard plate reader, and the product is labeled for research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
