It is one of the most potent and long-lasting of appetite stimulators. Understanding the role AgRP plays in weight gain may assist in developing pharmaceutical models for treating obesity. It was identified independently by two teams based on sequence similarity with Agouti signalling peptide, a protein synthetized in the skin that controls coat color.The appetite stimulating effects of AgRP a.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAssay Principle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate AGRP in samples. An antibody specific for AGRP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyAGRP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for AGRP is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of AGRP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"bhp-spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.1 pg\/mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetection Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.81-500 pg\/mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal Assay Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5–5 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Sample Types\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eserum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, tissue homogenate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecies Reactivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHuman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetection Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColorimetric (TMB\/HRP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4°C (short-term); -20°C (long-term)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bhp-qc-badge\"\u003e✓ Research-Grade Validation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Regulatory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-warning-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResearch Use Only (RUO).\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is intended for research purposes only and is not approved for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical use.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle reagents in accordance with institutional biosafety guidelines.
