AGRP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein agouti related neuropeptide, which is encoded by the AGRP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to play a role in in weight homeostasis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 132 residues and a mass of 14.4 kDa. It is known to be localized in the golgi and is secreted and is notably expressed in the adrenal gland, subthalamic nucleus, and hypothalamus, with a lower level of expression occurring in testis, lung, and kidney. The AGRP gene has been associated with the disease, Obesity. Other alias names for this target include AGRT and ART.
There are AGRP ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.17 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
