Rat Prolactin Induced Protein (PIP) ELISA Kit

The Rat Prolactin Induced Protein (PIP) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie quantifies a small glycoprotein originally characterized through prolactin-driven expression in mammary and apocrine secretory tissue. PIP rises sharply during lactation and under lactogenic hormone regulation, which makes the assay useful for reproductive endocrinology studies, mammary gland development research, and rodent models of secretory cell biology. Beyond lactation, PIP has been investigated as a marker of apocrine differentiation in salivary and sweat gland tissue, and as a translational indicator in hormone-responsive cancer research.

This Assay Genie kit is configured for 96 determinations and ships with pre-coated wells, biotinylated detection antibody, horseradish peroxidase conjugate, substrate solution, wash buffer, and a dilution series of calibrated standards. The complete workflow runs at room temperature incubations and produces a colorimetric signal read on a standard plate reader. Reagents remain stable when stored at 4°C; reconstituted standards should be aliquoted and frozen to limit freeze-thaw degradation of the calibration curve. Researchers can apply the assay across basic and translational projects involving hormone-regulated gene expression, secretory cell differentiation, and rodent models of lactogenic signaling.
