Proteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.
Serum Amyloid A3 (SAA-3) is an acute phase protein produced in the liver. In response to injury, granulocytes and macrophages secrete cytokines which modulate the production of acute phase proteins. Many of these proteins, such as SAA-3, α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), lipoclain 24P3, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and PTX3 are secreted from adipocytes and are elevated in various metabolic disease states.
Type II collagen is the major collagen found in cartilage and is expressed in two forms: IIA and IIB.
Adiponectin is identified as a 30 kDa adipokine that is secreted from the adipose tissue into circulation blood and influences systemic metabolism.
Rat/Mouse Ghrelin (Active) ELISA kit for the quantification of active ghrelin in rat and mouse serum or plasma samples. Each kit is sufficient to measure 39 unknown samples in duplicate.
Leptin is synthesized in adipocytes as a 16 kDa molecule and the circulating level is directly proportional to the total amount of fat in the body.
EMD Millipore is pleased to offer the Rat/Mouse C-Peptide 2 ELISA kit for the quantification of C-peptide 2 in rat and mouse serum and plasma samples. Each kit is sufficient to measure 39 unknown samples in duplicate.
Growth Hormone (GH) is a 23 kDa circulating pituitary hormone, Rat GH shares approximately 97% homology with mouse GH and 65% homology with human GH in its protein sequence.
GIP, also known as gastric inhibitory polypeptide, or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, is a 42 amino acid peptide hormone synthesized in and secreted from K cells in the intestinal epithelium.
Insulin, a 5.8 kDa hormone, is secreted by the islet beta cells in the pancreas.
The OxyELISA™ Oxidized Protein Quantitation Kit provides a sensitive methodology for detection and quantitation of proteins modified by oxygen free radicals and other reactive species. Oxygen-derived free radicals have been implicated in numerous physiological functions such as apoptosis, cancer, aging, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, pulmonary diseases, and cardiovascular diseases (for reviews, see…
