Analysis of Visfatin (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1265-LGZ)

Introduction

Visfatin, also known as nicotinamide phosphate nucleoside transferase (NAmPRT enzyme or NAMPT), formerly known as pre-B cell colony enhancer factor 1 (PBEF1), is an enzyme encoded by the NAMPT gene. Visfatin is abundant in visceral fat in both humans and mice, and its plasma levels increase during the development of obesity.




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.

Applications
