Rat Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide 27/PACAP-27 ELISA Kit
The Rat Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide 27 (PACAP-27) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate quantification of PACAP-27 levels in rat serum, plasma, and tissue lysate samples. This kit provides reliable and reproducible results, making it an ideal tool for researchers studying the role of PACAP-27 in various physiological and pathological processes. PACAP-27 is a neuropeptide that plays a critical role in modulating neurotransmission, neuroprotection, and neuroendocrine functions. It is involved in regulating diverse physiological processes such as hormone secretion, circadian rhythms, and stress responses.
Dysregulation of PACAP-27 signaling has been implicated in various neurological disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for understanding and potential therapeutic targeting of these conditions. Overall, the Rat PACAP-27 ELISA Kit offers researchers a powerful tool for investigating the functions and signaling pathways of PACAP-27 in physiological and pathological contexts, advancing our understanding of neurobiology and paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

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.
