Yanaihara Institute Active Ghrelin Human/Rat/Mouse ELISA Kit (3 x 96 wells). DESCRIPTION: Active Ghrelin Human/Rat/Mouse ELISA kit, developed and manufactured in Japan by Yanaihara Institute Inc., is used for quantitative measurement of the active form of Ghrelin in plasma samples. This multispecies assay can detect not only octanoylated human Ghrelin but also octanoylated rat/mouse Ghrelin (1-28). The kit uses the highly specific antibody pairs generated by Dr. Kangawa and by following his protocol. QUANTITY: With one 96-well plate, 40 samples can be measured in duplicate. The plate consists of 8-well strips that can be used separately. NOTE: This assay uses the same antibody as the discontinued LSI Medicine Active Ghrelin ELISA (cat. no. 97751). ASSAY RANGE: 2.9 - 184 fmol/mL. OTHER NAMES: Acylated ghrelin (AG), Acyl-ghrelin, octanoyl ghrelin, Appetite-regulating hormone, GH secretagogue, Growth hormone-releasing peptide, Motilin-related peptide, Protein M46, GHRL, MTLRP.
