Kynurenic Acid ELISA kit
High Sensitivity – Serum
Ref: IS-I-0200R
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is a downstream metabolite produced along the Kynurenine Pathway well-known to possess several neuromodulatory functions, as well as immuno-modulatory properties. Measurement of KYNA in biological samples has been presented as a possible biomarker in several diseases including neurological or psychiatric disorders.
The Kynurenic Acid ELISA kit is optimized for the quantitation of Kynurenic Acid (KYNA) within serum samples. This easy-to-use competitive assay is well-suited for both small and large series of samples. Working with a 50µL sample volume, this assay enables pre-clinical and clinical sample testings.
