About This Kit
Kit Overview
The Human GDF15 ELISA kit enables the quantification of Human GDF15 in various biological samples, including human serum, plasma, buffered solutions, and cell culture medium. This assay is specifically designed to exclusively detect both natural and recombinant forms of Human GDF15.
Principle of the assay
The Human GDF15 solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) follows a unique approach to measure the amount of the target molecule. It utilizes a matched pair of antibodies to capture the target and form a sandwich complex. The first antibody is pre-coated on the microplate wells, where samples, standards, or controls are added and bind to the immobilized antibody. The second antibody, acting as the detector, is then introduced, followed by the addition of a substrate solution that generates a measurable signal upon interaction with the enzyme-antibody-target complex. The intensity of this signal directly correlates to the concentration of the target present in the original specimen.

Target information
GDF-15 belongs to the TGF-beta cytokine family, whose members play an important role during prenatal development and postnatal growth, and the remodeling and maintenance of a variety of tissues and organs. GDF-15 is expressed predominantly in the placenta and, to a much lesser extent, in various other tissues. The presence of GDF-15 in amniotic fluid and its elevated levels in the sera of pregnant women suggest GDF-15's involvement in gestation and embryonic development. GDF-15 generally exerts tumor suppressive activities and is one of the predominant factors produced and secreted in response to activation of the p53 pathway. Interestingly, the serum level of GDF-15 is positively correlated with neoplastic progression of several tumor types, including certain colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancers.
