Human Retinoic Acid ELISA Kit

Retinoic acid is a bioactive metabolite of vitamin A that plays important roles in cellular differentiation, embryonic development, and immune system regulation. This small molecule acts as a ligand for nuclear retinoic acid receptors, influencing gene transcription and cellular processes including apoptosis, proliferation, and tissue homeostasis. Retinoic acid signaling pathways are necessary for proper organ formation during embryogenesis. They also continue to regulate adult tissue maintenance and repair mechanisms.

The Human Retinoic Acid ELISA Kit (CSB-E16712h) provides quantitative measurement of retinoic acid in human samples using a competitive assay principle. This kit requires 50-100 μL sample volume and can be completed within 1-5 hours. Detection is performed at 450 nm wavelength, allowing researchers to analyze retinoic acid levels in various biological specimens from Homo sapiens samples.
