Rat Trypsinogen Activation Peptide (TAP) ELISA Kit

This competitive immunoassay from Assay Genie quantifies Trypsinogen Activation Peptide (TAP) in rat-derived samples, supporting research into pancreatic acinar cell function and early pancreatic injury. The kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 assays and is configured for absorbance-based readout on a standard microplate reader.

TAP is a short peptide released during the proteolytic conversion of trypsinogen to active trypsin, making it a useful biomarker for studying acute pancreatitis, zymogen activation pathways, and exocrine pancreatic stress in rodent models. Validated specifically for rat reactivity, the kit accommodates tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, allowing flexibility across in vivo and in vitro experimental designs.

Each kit ships with a pre-coated microplate, assay buffers, detection antibody, and standards needed to generate a standard curve. Researchers should follow the enclosed protocol for sample preparation, incubation times, and wash steps to obtain reproducible results.
