Human Amylin ELISA Kit | AMYLIN elisa kit

Human Amylin ELISA Kit

Cat. Num. AAA8174

• Gene Names: IAPP; DAP; IAP
• Reactivity: Human
• Synonyms: Amylin; Human Amylin ELISA Kit; AMYLIN elisa kit

• Reactivity: Human
• Specificity: No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human AMYLIN and analogues was observed.

• Samples: Serum, Plasma, Tissue Homogenate, Feces, Urine and Body Fluids
• Assay Type: Sandwich
• Detection Range: 0.25 umol/L – 8 umol/L.
• Sensitivity: 0.1 umol/L.
• Intended Uses: ELISA is a simple and highly sensitive method of analysis that allows for simultaneous and rapid quantification of a large number of samples. The assay is based on the specific recognition of the target compound (analyte/antigen) by antibodies which bind to the compound. The antigen-antibody complex is detected and measured with the aid of an enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen. Upon addition of a non-colored reagent, the enzyme produces a color reaction where the color intensity is directly or inversely proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample. This quantitative Sandwich ELISA kit is in tended to determinate AMYLIN concentrations in Human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, feces, urine and body fluids, and it is only for research, not for drug, household, therapeutic applications
• Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay CV (%) are less than 15%.
• Inter-assay Precision: Inter-assay CV (%) is less than 15%. [CV(%) = SD/mean x100]
• Preparation and Storage: Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C

NCBI Description

Islet, or insulinoma, amyloid polypeptide is commonly found in pancreatic islets of patients suffering diabetes mellitus type II, or harboring an insulinoma. While the association of amylin with the development of type II diabetes has been known for some time, a direct causative role for amylin has been harder to establish. Studies suggest that amylin, like the related beta-amyloid (Abeta) associated with Alzheimer's disease, can induce apoptotic cell-death in particular cultured cells, an effect that may be relevant to the development of type II diabetes.
