Product Overview
Description:
Rat adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) CLIA kit is a CLIA kit assay for the detection of rat ACTH levels. The range of the assay is 11.72-3000 pg/mL.
Assay Principle:
The microtiter plates in this kit are pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for ACTH. A competitive inhibitory reaction occurs between biotin-labeled ACTH and unlabeled ACTH (standards or samples) and the pre-coated ACTH-specific antibody. After incubation, the unbound conjugate is washed away. Avidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is then added to each microtiter well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP is inversely proportional to the concentration of ACTH in the sample. A mixture of substrates A and B is then added to produce glow emission kinetics. After development, the intensity of the glow is inversely proportional to the amount of ACTH in the sample or standard.
Background:
ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Defects in POMC may be associated with susceptibility to obesity (OBESITY). It is a condition characterized by an increase in body weight beyond the limitations of skeletal and physical requirements, as a result of excessive accumulation of body fat. Defects in POMC are the cause of pro-opiomelanocortinin deficiency (POMCD). Affected individuals present early-onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair.
