The Beta MSH ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Beta MSH in various samples. Beta MSH is another term for the POMC gene, which encodes the protein, proopiomelanocortin in humans. It has been reported that Beta MSH plays a role in cell to cell signaling and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis, among other functions. Structurally, the POMC protein is described to be 267 amino acid residues in length and 29.4 kilodaltons in mass. It is known to be a secreted protein. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated and cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include ACTH, ACTH, and CLIP.
There are Beta MSH ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
