NT-proBNP ELISA kits are assays designed to detect N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, a prohormone that is cleaved to release brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). These peptides are produced primarily in the heart. Elevated levels can be observed when pressure changes occur within the heart, therefore NT-proBNP can be used as an indicator of congestive heart failure and other cardiac conditions. NT-proBNP ELISA kits may be useful tools in studying ventricular dysfunction and coronary artery disease. Visit the supplier page for more information about detection target, range, and reactivity.
