Rat Plasminogen Activator, Urokinase (uPA) ELISA Kit

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease that converts plasminogen to plasmin, driving fibrinolysis, extracellular matrix remodeling, and pericellular proteolysis. This Assay Genie rat-specific quantification kit enables researchers to measure uPA protein levels across a broad panel of specimen types, supporting studies in tumor invasion, wound healing, angiogenesis, and reproductive biology.

Built on a two-site immunoassay workflow with colorimetric readout, the kit is supplied as a 96-assay plate. Compatible specimens include tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, as well as blood-derived fractions, giving flexibility for both in vivo and in vitro experimental designs. The reaction is read on a standard microplate reader, making integration into existing laboratory ELISA pipelines straightforward.

Each kit is intended for research use only and provides sufficient reagents for 96 individual determinations in single-use wells. Researchers studying rat models of thrombosis, fibrotic disease, or metastatic dissemination can use this kit to track uPA concentrations as a biomarker or mechanistic readout alongside downstream methods such as western blot or zymography.
