Human Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) ELISA Kit
To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.
Principle of the Assay: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to cotinine has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled cotinine and unlabeled cotinine (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to cotinine. After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of cotinine in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of cotinine in the sample.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Corticotropin-releasing hormone is secreted by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus in response to stress. Marked reduction in this protein has been observed in association with Alzheimer disease and autosomal recessive hypothalamic corticotropin deficiency has multiple and potentially fatal metabolic consequences including hypoglycemia and hepatitis. In addition to production in the hypothalamus, this protein is also synthesized in peripheral tissues, such as T lymphocytes and is highly expressed in the placenta. In the placenta it is a marker that determines the length of gestation and the timing of parturition and delivery. A rapid increase in circulating levels of the hormone occurs at the onset of parturition, suggesting that, in addition to its metabolic functions, this protein may act as a trigger for parturition.

Product Notes
The Human CRH crh (Catalog #AAA2023613) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2023613 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CRH. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH), 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
