Product Summary for Mouse Fetuin A/AHSG Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse Fetuin A Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse Fetuin A levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse Fetuin A and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse Fetuin A accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse Fetuin A showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse Fetuin A.

Background: Fetuin A/AHSG

Fetuins are members of the cystatin family of proteases. Secreted by the liver, fetuins can be found at high levels in serum. Fetuin A promotes phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and plays a role in bone development, calcium homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Fetuin B functions as an inhibitor of basic calcium phosphate precipitation.
