Mouse brain natriuretic peptide, BNP ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates Detection Range: 6.25 pg/mL-400 pg/mL Sensitivity: 1.56 pg/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: [Brain natriuretic peptide 45]: Cardiac hormone that plays a key role in mediating cardio-renal homeostasis (PubMed:8182124). May also function as a paracrine antifibrotic factor in the heart (PubMed:10737768). Acts by specifically binding and stimulating NPR1 to produce cGMP, which in turn activates effector proteins that drive various biological responses (PubMed:8182124). Likely involved in regulating the extracellular fluid volume and maintaining the fluid- electrolyte balance through natriuresis, diuresis, kaluresis and chloruresis. [The UniProt Consortium]
