Description
General description
The central nervous system comprises billions of neurons and glial cells that communicate through various chemical signals, including neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Neuropeptides, secreted from both the central and peripheral nervous systems, play crucial roles in regulating metabolism, reproduction, and immunity, and are linked to specific behaviors like bonding and anxiety. Understanding neurobiology and accurately measuring neuropeptides is essential for addressing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer′s and Parkinson′s.
Application
MILLIPLEX® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 5 analytes in human serum, plasma, cerebospinal fluid (CSF), and cell culture supernatants and lysates.
Analytes included: α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), β-Endorphin, Neurotensin, Oxytocin, Substance P.
Note: Serum and plasma samples require extraction using acetonitrile precipitation or an extraction plate. See kit protocol for details.
Note: This is a competitive assay.
Assay Characteristics: Refer to kit protocol for assay cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.
