Rat Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) ELISA Kit

A solid-phase immunoassay kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in rat specimens. POMC is a polypeptide precursor cleaved into ACTH, alpha-MSH, beta-endorphin, and other bioactive peptides that govern appetite regulation, stress response, and energy homeostasis, making this kit a useful tool for metabolic, neuroendocrine, and obesity research. The 96-assay format covers serum samples, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants of rat origin. Results are read colorimetrically on a standard microplate reader, and the kit ships in a single box with all reagents required to run the protocol. Components should be kept refrigerated to preserve activity across the working shelf life. Intended for research use only, this rat-specific POMC kit supports studies of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function, feeding behavior, adipokine signaling, and pigmentation pathways in rodent models.
