Analysis of Growth Hormone (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-0871-LGZ)

Introduction

Growth hormone (GH) belongs to the growth factor family and is synthesized by the anterior pituitary gland. GH is a multifunctional cytokine, and many cells have GH receptors, through which GH acts. GH stimulates the liver and other tissues to produce IGF-1, which regulates growth and metabolism. In addition, GH can also directly act on immune cells to regulate immune activity. Human GH cDNA encodes a precursor of 217 amino acids, with a leader peptide of 26 amino acids.




Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.
