Product Overview

Description: Hamster melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) ELISA kit is an ELISA-based in vitro research tool designed specifically for the quantitative detection of MCH in hamster samples. The kit is highly sensitive and easy to use.

Assay Principle: The ELISA analytical biochemical technique is based on MCH antibody-MCH antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect MCH antigen targets in samples.

Background: MCH is a cyclic neuropeptide primarily synthesized and secreted in neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and thalamus, exerting its effects through its receptors MCH1R and MCH2R. MCH plays a major role as an orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) signal in appetite regulation. Its association with obesity research is highly evident: in animal models, MCH injection or overexpression leads to increased food intake and excessive weight gain; Conversely, inhibiting MCH signaling or knocking out its receptor (MCH1R) results in leaner animals, indicating MCH is a potent central nervous system signal for energy storage and hunger resistance, making it a critical target for anti-obesity drug development.

Synonyms: PMCH

Applications: Hamster melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) ELISA kit is used to quantify MCH in hamster samples, providing data to support research in a wide range of areas, including appetite regulation, obesity, etc.
