General description

The Apelin C-Terminus Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) Kit is an in vitro quantitative assay for detecting Apelin C-Terminus peptide based on the principle of Competitive Enzyme Immunoassay. The EIA-APC-1 kit detects all active Apelin peptides, including Apelin-13, Apelin-28, Apelin-31 and Apelin-36.

Immunogen

Apelin, synthetic peptide

Application

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Apelin EIA kit has been used to determine the concentration of apelin in pre-adipocyte growth medium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Apelin (APLN) is secreted by white adipose tissue. It is an adipokine which has a role in tumor cell progression and vascularization. The protein may have a role in obesity-related disorders. APLN is involved in modulating energy homeostasis, water balance, glucose metabolism and immunity. It has been shown to be upregulated in many cancers.

Apelin peptides (APLN) serve as second substrates for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and, in contrast to angiotensin II (AngII), exert blood-pressure lowering and vasodilatation effects through binding to G-coupled APLN receptor (APLNR). ACE2-mediated cleavage of the APLN may reduce its
