Rat Prostaglandin Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (PTGS2) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of rat Prostaglandin Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (PTGS2), commonly referred to as COX-2, is supported by this ELISA kit from Assay Genie. The enzyme PTGS2 catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, a key step in inflammatory signaling, and is widely investigated in studies of arthritis, cancer progression, and cardiovascular pathophysiology.

Intended for research use only and in vitro applications, the kit provides reagents for quantifying PTGS2 protein in rat-derived samples including whole blood fractions and tissue homogenate preparations. Each kit ships with all buffers, plates, and standards needed to perform the assay, with components packaged in individual vials for reconstitution prior to use.

Storage conditions require refrigeration of unopened components; reagents should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before running. The colorimetric readout is compatible with standard microplate readers equipped with appropriate filters, and the assay is often paired with western blot or immunohistochemistry workflows to validate inflammatory response in animal models.
