The Mouse Ghrelin ELISA Kit is a reliable and accurate tool for measuring ghrelin levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, providing researchers with dependable and reproducible results for a variety of research applications. Ghrelin is a hormone known for its role in regulating appetite, energy balance, and metabolism. It also plays a critical role in various physiological processes, including growth hormone secretion, gastric acid secretion, and gastrointestinal motility.
Dysregulation of ghrelin levels has been linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders, making it an important biomarker for studying these conditions and developing potential treatments. Whether you are studying metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, or appetite regulation, the Mouse Ghrelin ELISA Kit is an invaluable tool for your research needs. With its high-quality performance and ease of use, this kit can help advance your understanding of ghrelin biology and its implications for human health.

Note: The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate TMB substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Prepare standards, samples (minimum 1:2 dilution), blanks, assign wells, and pre-wash the plate twice.
2
Sample & Biotin-Antibody Binding: Add 50 µL standard or sample followed by 50 µL biotin-labeled antibody to each well. Mix gently and incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes.
3
Washing: Wash the plate 5 times with wash buffer, allowing 1 minute soak time per wash.
4
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark at 37°C for 10-20 minutes until color develops.
5
Stop Reaction: Add stop solution to terminate the reaction. The color changes from blue to yellow immediately.
6
Reading: Measure absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using EDTA anticoagulant, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Cell Culture Supernatant
Centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes at 4°C and collect clarified supernatant.
Cell Lysate
Lyse cells using recommended lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and collect protein supernatant.
Tissue Homogenate
Homogenize tissue in PBS with protease inhibitors, centrifuge at 5000 × g for 5 minutes, and collect supernatant.
Other Sample Types
Centrifuge samples at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect supernatant. For additional guidance, please contact techsupport@assaygenie.com.
