Carnosine ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of carnosine in biological samples. Carnosine is a compound that is metabolized in humans and can be detected in saliva, urine, fecal, and serum samples. It has the chemical formula C9H14N4O3. Carnosine has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as alpha-beta unsaturated aldehydes formed from peroxidation of fatty acids during oxidative stress. It is known to be produced in the liver.
1 Carnosine ELISA kits utilize microtiter plates coated with specific antibodies and conjugated detection enzymes. The assay will produce a detectable signal proportional to the amount of Carnosine antigens found in the sample.
