Rat KISS1(Kisspeptin 1) ELISA Kit

Metastasis suppressor protein. May regulate events downstream of cell-matrix adhesion, perhaps involving cytoskeletal reorganization. Generates a C-terminally amidated peptide, metastin which functions as the endogenous ligand of the G-protein coupled receptor GPR54. The receptor is also essential for normal gonadotropin-released hormone physiology and for puberty. The hypothalamic KiSS1/GPR54 system is a pivotal factor in central regulation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty and in adulthood. Intracerebroventricular administration induces an increase in serum LH and FSH levels in prepubertal male and female as well as in adult animals Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 5.69 pg/mL. Standard: 1000 pg/mL. Detection range: 15.63-1000 pg/mL. Sample type: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Tumor immunity,. Test principle: 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 Rat KISS1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat KISS1. 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 Rat KISS1, 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 Rat KISS1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
