Background

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a 41-amino acid peptide derived from a 191-amino acid preprohormone. CRH issecreted by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus in response to stress. Marked reduction in CRH hasbeen observed in association with Alzheimer disease and autosomal recessive hypothalamic corticotropin dificiency hasmultiple and potentially fatal metabolic consequences including hypoglycemia and hepatitis. In addition to productionin the hypothalamus, CRH is also synthesized in peripheral tissues, such as T lymphocytes and is highly expressed inthe placenta. In the placenta CRH is a marker that determines the length of gestation and the timing of parturitionand delivery. A rapid increase in circulating levels of CRH occurs at the onset of parturition, suggesting that, inaddition to its metabolic functions, CRH may act as a trigger for parturition.

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.
