Rat Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC) ELISA Kit

Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway, catalyzing the conversion of ornithine to putrescine and supporting cellular proliferation processes. This Assay Genie ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of ODC in rat-derived specimens for research use only, supporting investigations into cell growth regulation, tumor biology, and polyamine metabolism. The kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 assays and is validated specifically for rat species reactivity. Sample types compatible with the workflow span tissue homogenate preparations along with serum-based and plasma-derived specimens, processed through a standard microplate-based protocol. Researchers in oncology, developmental biology, and metabolic studies can apply this kit to characterize ODC expression across varied experimental conditions, including drug treatment responses and gene knock-out models.
