Principle of the Assay: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to FGF21 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled FGF21 and unlabeled FGF21 (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to FGF21. 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 FGF21 in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of FGF21 in the sample.

Uniprot Description
Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity probably requires the presence of KLB.

Product Notes
The Mouse FGF21 fgf21 (Catalog #AAA454816) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA454816 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse FGF21. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21), 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
