• Reactivity: Rat
• Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Galanin (GAL).; No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Galanin (GAL) and analogues was observed.
• Sequence Length: 123

• Assay Type: Competitive Inhibition
• Samples: Serum, Plasma, Tissue Homogenates, Cell Lysates, Cell Culture Supernates and Other Biological Fluids
• Detection Range: 12.35-1,000pg/mL
• Sensitivity: < 4.97pg/mL
• Application: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Antigen Detection.
• Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Galanin (GAL) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
• Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Galanin (GAL) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
• CV(%) =: SD/meanX100
• Intra-Assay: CV<10%
• Inter-Assay: CV<12%
• Preparation and Storage: The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.; 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.

Related Product Information for GAL elisa kit

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

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a neuroendocrine peptide that is widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and also the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenal gland and urogenital tract. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate two mature peptides: galanin and galanin message-associated peptide (GMAP). Galanin has diverse physiological functions including nociception, feeding and energy homeostasis, osmotic regulation and water balance. GMAP has been demonstrated to possess antifungal activity and hypothesized to be part of the innate immune system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
