Description

This rat visfatin ELISA kit employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique to measure the levels of rat visfatin in different samples, including serum, plasma, or tissue homogenates. The enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction is also used to amplify the signal and quantify the levels of the analyte through the intensity of the colored product. The color intensity positively correlates with the amount of visfatin bound in the initial step.

Visfatin (NAMPT) is an adipocytokine that exerts many functions including enhancement of cell proliferation, biosynthesis of nicotinamide mono- and dinucleotide, and hypoglycaemic effect through an endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine manner. Visfatin binds to the insulin receptor at a site different from that of insulin, leading to hypoglycemia by reducing glucose release from liver cells and stimulating glucose utilization in adipocytes and myocytes. Visfatin is upregulated by hypoxia, inflammation, and hyperglycemia but downregulated by insulin, somatostatin, and statins. It is involved in many pathological processes, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)
Catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of NAD. It is the rate limiting component in the mammalian NAD biosynthesis pathway. The secreted form behaves both as a cytokine with immunomodulating properties and an adipokine with anti-diabetic properties, it has no enzymatic activity, partly because of lack of activation by ATP, which has a low level in extracellular space and plasma. Plays a role in the modulation of circadian clock function. NAMPT-dependent oscillatory production of NAD regulates oscillation of clock target gene expression by releasing the core clock component: CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer from NAD-dependent SIRT1-mediated suppression.
