Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide hormone that plays a central role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which regulates blood pressure, fluid balance, and cardiovascular homeostasis. This octapeptide forms through the enzymatic cleavage of angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme and exerts its effects primarily through binding to angiotensin II type 1 and type 2 receptors. Research into angiotensin II levels is essential for understanding hypertension, heart failure, kidney disease, and other cardiovascular disorders. This makes it an important biomarker in clinical and research settings.
The Human angiotensin II ELISA Kit (CSB-E04493h) provides quantitative measurement of ANG-II in human serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, and tissue homogenates using a sandwich assay principle. The kit offers a detection range of 31.25 pg/mL to 2000 pg/mL with a sensitivity of 7.81 pg/mL, requiring 50-100 μL sample volume per well. Detection occurs at 450 nm wavelength. Assay completion takes 1-5 hours.
