Mouse/rat urocortin 3 ELISA assay kit is used for quantitative determination of urocortin 3 in mouse/rat plasma, serum and their brain tissue extracts. The kit is characterized for sensitive quantification, high specificity and no influence with other components in samples. Mouse/rat urocortin 3 standard is highly purified synthetic product.
Product Description:
Urocortin 3 (Ucn3) or stresscopin (SCP) is a new member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide family identified in the mouse and human. The CRF family of neuropeptides includes mammalian peptides CRF, urocortin 1(Ucn1) and urocortin 2 (Ucn2) or stress-related peptide (SRP), as well as piscine urotensin 1 and frog sauvagine. Mouse and human Ucn3 share 90% identity in the 38-aa putative mature peptide.
