Urocortin (UCN) ELISA Kit for Mouse

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS284784

Principle of the Assay: This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate UCN in samples. An antibody specific for UCN has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyUCN present is bound by the… More details

Other Notes

Small volumes of UCN elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Searchable Terms for UCN purchase

MBS284784 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip-or-full plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Urocortin (UCN) ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing UCN. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS284784 kit is based on UCN antibody-UCN antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect UCN antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, UCN. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).

NCBI Summary for UCN

This gene encodes a member of the corticotropin-releasing hormone peptide family that participates in coordinating autonomic, endocrine, and behavioral responses to stress. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, functional hormone. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit a heightened anxiety-like behaviors and a significantly reduced acoustic startle response. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
