Sandwich ELISA - Mouse FGF-21 ELISA Kit, Fluorescent (AB229382)

Interpolated concentrations of FGF-21 in normal female CD-1 mouse serum and pregnant female CD-1 mouse serum at day 18 of gestation.

The concentrations of FGF-21 were measured in three different dilutions in duplicate and interpolated from the FGF-21 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted in pg FGF-21 per mL of neat serum (mean +/- SD, n=3). FGF-21 concentration was determined to be 401 pg/mg in normal mouse serum, and 9,193 pg/mL in pregnant mouse serum.

Product details

FGF-21 in vitro CatchPoint® SimpleStep ELISA® (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of FGF-21 protein in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants.

This CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA kit has been optimized for Molecular Devices Microplate Readers. Click here for a list of recommended Microplate Readers.
If using a Molecular Devices' plate reader supported by SoftMax® Pro software, a preconfigured protocol for these CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA Kits is available with all the protocol and analysis settings at www.softmaxpro.org

The CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. CatchPoint HRP Development Solution containing the Stoplight Red Substrate is added. During incubation, the substrate is catalyzed by HRP generating a fluorescent product. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured in a fluorescence plater reader at 530/570/590 nm Excitation/Cutoff/Emission.

Rat serum and plasma samples are not compatible with this kit.

FGF-21 is a secreted protein, a member of a large FGF gene family. FGF-21 stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression but not via SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression. FGF-21 activity probably requires the presence of KLB.

FGF21 or fibroblast growth factor 21 is an important metabolic regulator. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family but unlike many others FGF21 functions mainly in endocrine signaling. The molecular weight of FGF21 is approximately 22 kDa. This protein is expressed in tissues such as the liver adipose tissue and pancreas. Because of its endocrine roles FGF21 travels through the bloodstream to exert its functions on distant organs.
Biological function summary

FGF21 influences glucose and lipid metabolism. It does not act as part of a larger protein complex. Instead it directly affects metabolic processes enhancing insulin sensitivity and lipid oxidation while reducing body weight. These actions help maintain energy balance and homeostasis making FGF21 an important player in metabolic control.

Pathways

FGF21 plays a significant role in the insulin signaling pathway and PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) pathway. These pathways regulate cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis respectively. FGF21 interacts with other molecules such as PPARα (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) to exert its effects demonstrating its integration into broader metabolic networks. FGF21's interaction with these pathways highlights its function in energy utilization and storage.

FGF21 has connections to conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Its role in improving insulin sensitivity and promoting lipid oxidation makes it a molecule of interest in combating metabolic syndrome. FGF21 also has a relationship with hepatic proteins such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS) which play roles in liver functioning. Understanding these relationships offers insights into potential therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic disorders.
