Mouse KISS1R (Kisspeptin Receptor) Microsample ELISA Kit

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse KISS1R. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse KISS1R. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Mouse KISS1R, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Mouse KISS1R in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 0.16-10 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 0.062 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Sample Type: sTissue homogenates and other biological fluids.. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Receptor for metastin (kisspeptin-52 or kp-52), a C-terminally amidated peptide of KiSS1. KiSS1 is a metastasis suppressor protein. Activation of the receptor inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration, key characteristics of tumor metastasis. The receptor is essential for normal gonadotropin-released hormone physiology and for puberty. The hypothalamic KiSS1/KISS1R system is a pivotal factor in central regulation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty and in adulthood. Analysis of the transduction pathways activated by the receptor identifies coupling to phospholipase C and intracellular calcium release through pertussis toxin-insensitive G(q) proteins [The Uniprot Consortium]
