Background

The Beta-3 Adrenoceptor (ADRB3) is an Adrenergic Receptor that stimulates lipolysis and increases fatty acids in the blood. Stimulation of the beta-3 adrenoceptor leads to lipolysis in white adipocytes and nonshivering thermogenesis in brown fat. The beta-3 adrenoceptor has also been suggested to affect the physiological control of cardiac and vascular contractility; beta-3 adrenoceptor stimulation decreases cardiac contractility through activation of a nitric oxide synthase pathway. A variant of the beta-3 adrenoceptor, Trp64Arg, has been shown to be associated with weight gain (obesity) and susceptibility to non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), but not with coronary artery disease. Trp64Arg variant receptor has been shown to predict a greater tendency to develop abdominal adiposity and high blood pressure with advancing age. ADRB3 has been suggested to be responsible for the negative inotropic effects of catecholamines and may be involved in pathophysiological mechanisms leading to heart failure; ADRB3 is also one of the molecular targets under active research in the treatment of obeisity. Beta-3 adrenoceptor expression has been documented in adipose, heart, and in smooth muscle of digestive and urinary tract organs (bladder, colon, small intestine, stomach, ureter). Utilization of alternate promoters and/or 3-prime untranslated regions may result in tissue-specific regulation of the expression of ADRB3. ESTs have been isolated from heart/melanocyte/uterus and placenta libraries.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
