Mouse KISS1 (Kisspeptin 1) ELISA Kit
The Mouse KISS1 (Kisspeptin-1) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate detection of Kisspeptin-1 levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring reliable and reproducible results for various research applications.Kisspeptin-1 is a key neuropeptide involved in the regulation of reproductive function, playing a crucial role in the control of puberty and fertility. Dysregulation of Kisspeptin-1 has been linked to disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and infertility, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and developing potential treatments.
The Mouse KISS1 (Kisspeptin-1) ELISA Kit provides researchers with a powerful tool to accurately measure Kisspeptin-1 levels in mouse samples, enabling further understanding of its role in reproductive physiology and potential applications in reproductive medicine.

This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse KISS1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Mouse KISS1 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Mouse KISS1, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by adding Stop Solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Mouse KISS1. The concentration of Mouse KISS1 in samples can be calculated by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
| UniProt Protein Function: | KiSS-1: Metastasis suppressor protein in malignant melanomas and in some breast cancers. 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. Activation of the receptor inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration, key characteristics of tumor metastasis. Kp-10 is a decapeptide derived from the primary translation product, isolated in conditioned medium of first trimester trophoblast. Kp-10, but not other kisspeptins, increased intracellular Ca(2+) levels in isolated first trimester trophoblasts. Kp-10 is a paracrine/endocrine regulator in fine- tuning trophoblast invasion generated by the trophoblast itself. 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. Belongs to the KISS1 family. |

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e. g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.
