Deionized or distilled water. 500 mL graduated cylinders. Test tubes for dilution.

Application Details

Application Notes: Before using Kit, spin tubes and bring down all components to bottom of tube. Duplicate well assay was recommended for both standard and sample testing.

Sample Volume: 100 μL

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: ELISA Kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. An antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection antibody specific for target is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the target amount in sample captured in plate.

Target Details for AGRP

Target: AGRP (Agouti Related Protein Homolog (Mouse) (AGRP))

Alternative Name: AGRP

Background:

Background: Agouti-related protein, also called Agouti-related peptide (AgRP), is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. It is only synthesised in NPY-containing cell bodies located in the ventromedial part of the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus. In humans, the agouti-related peptide is encoded by the AGRP gene. AgRP is co-expressed with Neuropeptide Y and works by increasing appetite and decreasing metabolism and energy expenditure. It is one of the most potent and long-lasting of appetite stimulators.

Gene Full Name: agouti related neuropeptide

Gene ID: 181

UniProt: O00253

Pathways: Feeding Behaviour, Photoperiodism
