Description

The Rat VGF Nerve Growth Factor Inducible (VGF) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for researchers in the field of neuroscience. This quantitative assay measures the concentration of VGF Nerve Growth Factor Inducible (VGF) in serum and plasma samples from Rattus norvegicus (Rat).

With a detection range of 0.312 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.078 ng/mL, this ELISA kit provides accurate and precise measurements for your research needs. The assay time ranges from 1 to 5 hours, and the sample volume required is 50-100ul.

The sandwich measurement technique used in this kit ensures high specificity and sensitivity, providing you with reliable and consistent results. The detection wavelength of 450 nm ensures accurate measurements for each sample.

This ELISA kit is particularly useful for researchers in the field of neuroscience, as VGF has been linked to neuronal development and plasticity, as well as cognitive function and behavior. This kit can help investigate the role of VGF in these processes and provide insights into potential therapeutic targets.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)

Secreted polyprotein that is packaged and proteolytically processed by prohormone convertases PCSK1 and PCSK2 in a cell-type-specific manner. VGF and peptides derived from its processing play many roles in neurogenesis and neuroplasticity associated with learning, memory, depression and chronic pain.; Plays a role in the control of body fluid homeostasis by regulating vasopressin release. Suppresses presynaptic glutamatergic neurons connected to vasopressin neurons.; Plays a role in the control of body fluid homeostasis by regulating vasopressin release. Activates GABAergic interneurons which are inhibitory neurons of the nervous system and thereby suppresses presynaptic glutamatergic neurons. Stimulates also feeding behavior in an orexin-dependent manner in the hypothalamus. Functions as a positive regulator for the activation of orexin neurons resulting in elevated gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying.; Secreted multifunctional neuropeptide that binds to different cell receptors and thereby plays multiple physiological roles including modulation of energy expenditure, pain, response to stress, gastric regulation, glucose homeostasis as well as lipolysis. Activates the G-protein-coupled receptor C3AR1 via a folding-upon-binding mechanism leading to enhanced lipolysis in adipocytes. Interacts with C1QBP receptor in macrophages and microglia causing increased levels of intracellular calcium and hypersensitivity.; Plays a role in the regulation of memory formation and depression-related behaviors potentially by influencing synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis. Induces acute and transient activation of the NTRK2/TRKB receptor and subsequent CREB phosphorylation. Induces also insulin secretion in insulinoma cells by increasing intracellular calcium mobilization.
