Background
Nesfatin-1 (NEFA Encoded Satiety and Fat-influencing protein 1) is a secreted, 10 kDa peptide derived from the translation product of the NUCB2 gene. Nesfatin-1 is associated with neurons involved in feeding (ARH and PVH) and fluid intake (SON and PVH), in beta cells of the pancreas, and in adipocytes. Its presence peripherally has an anorexigenic effect. Mature human Nesfatin-1 is 82 amino acids (aa) in length. It is the secreted N-terminus of a larger, intracellular 420 aa precursor termed NEFA/Nucleobindin-2/NUCB2. NUCB2 contains a signal sequence (aa 1- 24), Nesfatin-1 (aa 25-106), a DNA-binding site (aa 171-223), and two EF-hand regions (aa 241-276 and 293-328). Intracellular uncleaved NUCB2 is 45-50 kDa in size. There is a potential for multiple cleavages, generating Nesfatin-2 (aa 109-187) and Nesfatin-3 (aa 190-420). Human Nesfatin-1 shares 85% aa identity with mouse Nesfatin-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.
