Description
Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone releasing peptide is an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from pituitary. It was isolated from rat stomach and the structure was determined as a peptide consisting of 28-amino acid by Dr.Kenji kangawa (National Cardiovascular Center in Japan).The Ser3 residue of Ghrelin is modified by n-octanoic acid ,a modification necessary for hormone activity. This Active Ghreline ELISA kit measures the active form of Ghreline based on the principle of 2 Site Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). It can detect not only octanoylated human Ghreline but also octanoylated rat/mouse Ghreline(1-28).This kit is manufactured using the high specific antibody pairs generated by Dr.kangawa and by following his protocol.(patent pending：PCT WO 01/07475 A1)

This product is useful for Diabetes/Obesity study.
