Rat Hepcidin (HAMP) ELISA kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 0.156 ng/mL-10 ng/mL Sensitivity: 0.039 ng/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Seems to act as a signaling molecule involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis. Seems to be required in conjunction with HFE to regulate both intestinal iron absorption and iron storage in macrophages. May also have antimicrobial activity. [The UniProt Consortium]
