Human Dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA ELISA Kit | KTE62071

Human Dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA ELISA Kit | KTE62071 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Human Dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate DHEA in samples. An antibody specific for DHEA has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyDHEA present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for DHEA is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of DHEA bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Detection Method: Colorimetric

Conjugate: N/A

Sample Type: Cell culture supernatants#Serum#Plasma#Other biological fluids

Assay Type: Multiple steps standard sandwich ELISA assay with a working time of 3-5 hours. It depends on the experience of the operation person.

Background: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone or as prasterone (INN), is an endogenous steroid hormone. It is one of the most abundant circulating steroids in humans, in whom it is produced in the adrenal glands, the gonads, and the brain, where it functions as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the androgen and estrogen sex steroids. However, DHEA also has a variety of potential biological effects in its own right, binding to an array of nuclear and cell surface receptors, and acting as a neurosteroid and neurotrophin. DHEA is also used orally as a medication and dietary supplement, to restore or increase DHEA and DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S) levels.
