Rat REST (RE1-Silencing Transcription Factor) ELISA Kit (RTFI01463)

REST (RE1-Silencing Transcription Factor), also known as NRSF, is a zinc-finger transcriptional repressor that binds RE1/NRSE DNA motifs to silence neuronal gene expression outside the nervous system. Beyond neural development, REST functions as a regulator of cardiac hypertrophy, oncogenic reprogramming in glioblastoma and small-cell lung cancer, and stress-induced chromatin remodeling. Investigators studying neurodegeneration, stem-cell differentiation, and tumor suppressor pathways rely on quantitative REST measurements to track expression dynamics across experimental conditions.

The Rat REST immunoassay from Assay Genie employs rat-specific capture and detection antibodies in a microplate format. Store reagents refrigerated and aliquot the reconstituted standard upon receipt to preserve binding activity across freeze-thaw cycles. This kit is intended for research use only in vitro studies.
