Principle of the Assay: CORT ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-CORT antibody and an CORT-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with CORT-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the CORT concentration since CORT from samples and CORT-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-CORT antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by CORT from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind CORT-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The CORT concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a neuropeptide that is structurally similar to somatostatin. It binds to all known somatostatin receptors, and shares many pharmacological and functional properties with somatostatin, including the depression of neuronal activity. However, it also has many properties distinct from somatostatin, such as induction of slow-wave sleep, apparently by antagonism of the excitatory effects of acetylcholine on the cortex, reduction of locomotor activity, and activation of cation selective currents not responsive to somatostatin. The preproprotein undergoes further processing into multiple mature products. Read-through transcripts exist between this gene and the upstream APITD1 (apoptosis-inducing, TAF9-like domain 1) gene, as represented in GeneID:100526739. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Product Notes
The Bovine CORT cort (Catalog #AAA7242868) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7242868 ELISA Kit recognizes Bovine CORT. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "cortistatin (CORT), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
